Bok choy and barbequed pork may not sound like hospital food, but for one Vancouver institution, that's the case.
Saint Joseph's Hospital in East Vancouver is launching a new meal plan, and it's focusing on Chinese food.
According to Global News, 95 per cent of the hospital's long-term patients are Chinese, so staff has been working withSodexo food services to create a meal plan that accommodates this majority.
That means sweet and sour pork, fried rice, and shrimp, according to Vancitybuzz.
However, not everyone is sure the new menu will mean tastier food. Twitter user Paul Czene tweeted that "There's food and then there's hospital food. Imagine bland, soggy and limp Chinese food as only a hospital can do it."
