I've only tried the cakes myself, but they were excellent - the little square chocolate-covered variety are the best. Better than the dry cracker biscuits they gave me after surgery (not exactly a real meal) and definitely better than the very, very nasty case of antibiotic-resistant MRSA they also gave me during my stay. Hint: if you're going there as a patient, take enough hand sanitiser to sink the Titanic in. And do try the cakes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-41479134237738809982013-11-24T17:22:47.165+11:002013-11-24T17:22:47.165+11:00Isn't that interesting, Bec!

I really didn't like having to deliver the menus to the wards. It was always a lottery what you would find behind the curtain - grieving families, very ill people...Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-92148195187951159642013-11-24T17:21:51.542+11:002013-11-24T17:21:51.542+11:00Thanks Jen :-)Thanks Jen :-)Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-80647647321103647402013-11-24T17:21:40.640+11:002013-11-24T17:21:40.640+11:00Yerm yerm.

It was interesting - they got the same food but the posher Bethesda had china milk jugs etc instead of stainless steel so that it looked nicer. The plate up was done via conveyer belt and they gave me the easy job - putting the teas/coffees/sugar/milk on the tray. It was still really hard though. Tray flies towards you - strain to read card ASAP, throw the required items on, new tray almost upon you.bechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962190435022913273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-80501981166584307072013-11-24T13:37:57.282+11:002013-11-24T13:37:57.282+11:00Your post made me laugh.
