[quote=Anonymous]Delivered at end of July after 5 day stay.  I am vegetarian.  No problem getting this accomodated, despite moving between wards often.  Most days, someone came in the morning and gave me a a few things to choose from for lunch, dinner, and breakfast the next day.  Nothing was stellar, but it was edible.  Fruit especially left something to be desired (pears from a can, seemed like, every time).  The cafeteria has a lot more options and sometimes my DH would go over there and bring something back for the both of us.  The nurse station also had a bunch of menus for places that deliver.  And we used the Caviar app for delivery a couple times.

As PP said, meals came at meal times.  There's no ordering on demand.  No snacks between meals.  Nothing was particularly stellar or bad.  I thought the french toast was pretty good.  I enjoyed the green beans.  But really, I don't remember specifics.

For labor (which I didn't end up doing, but that's another story), I brought my own vegetarian gelatin, which they kept in the fridge for me and would bring me whenever I asked.  I also brought gatorade.  They'll bring you popsicles, etc whenever you want because the nurses just keep them in a fridge at their station -- it's not through food services.

We also brought protein granola bars and trail mix -- shelf stable and has fat and protein, so filling.[/quote]
