One of the biggest problems is idiots like Bobby who don't understand why the food is all mushed up.
Just because it looks bad, it doesn't mean it tastes bad, or isn't nutritious.
Dysphagia and aspiration are big problems in nursing homes, and that explains why you see a lot of the pureed food.
Bobby's brain seems incapable of understanding this simple fact though.
I'm sure there are crap meals out there, just as there are crap meals in restaurants all over the country, but they aren't all bad.
I was actually quite impressed with the food at my father's nursing home - I ate the fish and chips (with generous serving of salad) every Friday
It was as good as any upmarket pub meal.
And the roasts on Sundays were delicious.
