The food at Eastbourne General was the worst I have ever tasted in a hospital. It might have been me, but I don't think so. It was perhaps on a par with the food I remember from having been hospitalized 50 years ago in Michigan, and it was certainly worse than what I remember from University Hospital in London, Ontario, in the late 1970s. I question whether it was very nutritious.

e.g. Breakfast was a choice from one of two cold cereals or white toast, plus juice.

e.g. Supper was an alleged ham sandwich with the thinnest slice of ham I've ever seen, again on white bread, with soup (which I wasn't in the mood for) and ice cream that had been melted and refrozen several times.
