'Pigswill. Slop. Not fit for dogs.' Is hospital food that bad?

'Pigswill. Slop. Not fit for dogs.' Is hospital food that bad? Pigswill, slop and not fit for dogs. These are just some of the comments the Campaign for Better Hospital Food has received over the years from patients to describe the meals served up in hospitals.

It goes to show how bad a reputation hospital food has - and news that pre-packaged sandwiches and salads may have given patients listeria has just reinforced those impressions.

Even many staff cannot stomach it, it seems. A recent poll by Unison, which represents nurses and health care assistants among others NHS staff, found more than half would not eat what they serve up to patients. BBC News
