What hospitals around the world serve their patients
People obviously don't check into hospitals for the food, but a good meal might speed up the road to recovery.
What is served at hospitals varies by country, and seems deeply ingrained in local culture. From nasi goreng rice in Indonesia to bangers and mash in the UK, here's what hospitals around the world serve their patients.
Poland — A simple but hearty meal of bread, cucumber, and liverwurst.
Malaysia — Fried noodles and a single chicken drumstick.
Japan — Veggies, fish and white rice.
California — A typically American meal of cheeseburger, pizza, and mac and cheese, with a pickle and a Pepsi.
Do you even eat lunch??? I'm in heaven! 🍕🍔
