Hospital food: show and tell.

I thought it might be interesting to do a little ad-hoc comparison of hospital food.
You either love it, or you hate it.
What I am asking you to do is snap a picture of a typical tray of hospital food as it is served up to your patients.
Send it in to: [e-mail] and include the following.

You may or may not wish to identify which hospital is serving up this food.
Give it a subjective rating out of 5
(5 being excellent, 0 being antiemetic-stat) for each of the following categories:
Nutritional value.
Tastiness.
Aesthetic appeal.
You may also wish to make comment on how you feel about the overall standard of patient food in your hospital.

You can also do the same for food served to staff in the hospital cafeteria if you wish.
I will post any pictures and comments up on this page as they arrive.
