[QUOTE="Chook, post: 1553018, member: 24561"] A few years ago I was in the cancer ward of a Sheffield hospital - and it was absolutely stunning the dreadful food they were dishing up to terminally ill people. The first day I was there I was given the meal requested by that bed's previous occupant which was a big white plate with three blobs - one grey, one brown and one a sort of dirty beige with dark brown flecks in it - I had no idea what it was and it smelled very chemically - the alternative was a sandwich. Thankfully after several days of tests and an operation they diagnosed I didn't have cancer but something else that had similar symptoms so I had to stay put while they sorted that out (another operation). My poor husband was worried sick about me, on top of working his normal shift pattern then he was then chasing around Sheffield (a place we don't really know) trying to find something suitable for me to eat before visiting then going home to walk the dogs, etc. The most suitable thing he could find was hot rotisserie chickens (from Morrisons) and prepacked bags of salad - some of which I saved for breakfast and lunch the next day - it got very same-y but at least I wasn't worried about my BG on top of everything else.
