New mum served ‘miserable’ hospital meal after giving birth

A new mother has shared a snap of the meal she was dished up in hospital after giving birth – and it looks nothing like the menu she ordered from.

A photo of the hospital meal a woman was served after giving birth is being roasted online because it looks nothing like it does on the menu.

The new mother had ordered a hearty chicken noodle soup containing a mix of vegetables from a selection of different meals.

But when it arrived in a styrofoam box she was shocked to discover it looked like a completely different dish.

Instead of a tasty soup, there was a “congealed” yellow stew with a side of “sad” limp green beans and a mini bread roll.

“What I asked for vs what I got,” she wrote, adding it was “hospital food as I just had a baby”.

Despite its appearance, she said it was “still so delicious”, however it failed to impress other social media users who labelled it “miserable”.

“Is the soup liquid? It looks congealed LOL,” one wrote.

“They did you sooooo dirty with that ‘soup’,” another scoffed.

As one asked: “WAIT … Is that seriously the menu picture though?!”

“Oh hunny that’s slop,” someone else lamented.

“I can taste the absence of salt just by looking at this picture,” one joked.

One person even jokingly offered their “condolences” as another teased “at least the green beans are still green”.

… and this is what she received. Picture: Facebook

The contrasting photos caused lots of other mums to talk about the food they received after giving birth, with some noting labour left them so hungry they would have eaten anything.

“After having both of my babies, any food would do. I was starving,” one said.

“Even sh*t on mouldy bread would taste amazing after giving birth though am I right?” another commented.

While one wrote: “I could have eaten my own leg after giving birth.”

One woman even shared a photo of two sausages and a scoop of mash potato she received in hospital after she had her daughter three years ago, prompting many to remark on its unappealing appearance.

“That looks like 2 turds on a plate,” one said.

“The ice cream scoop of mash reminds me of school,” another added.

As one asked: “Is this bangers and mash?”

“It was supposed to be but the sausages were rock solid, the gravy was like jelly and mash looked like playdough,” the original poster replied.

“I made my partner bring me a KFC every day.”
