Today I had another impromptu day in a Hampshire hospital (not the one above as there were no fancy digital food menus). Interestingly when shown a menu (which I didn’t get to eat) they had every dietary option going except low carb as a separately available menu. The lad taking orders when I asked for low carb options offered sandwiches or jacket potatoes .
Other food staff then informed me they did also have a special low carb menu as it had been asked for increasingly but hadn’t listed it yet and would let me have it if I was still there later. They also hadn’t considered how useful knowing ingredients could be and would put that suggestion forward as another card to be made available along with the nutritional content they also have. All of these non standard menus and carss need to be asked for.
