Photos That Show How Different Hospital Food Is From Country To Country
Every culture has so many unique traits and characteristics it would be impossible to keep track of all of them. Every part of the world is so rich with its own traditions—it's what makes travel so exciting!
One of the most fun areas to explore in these different cultures is food. While many people travel around and sample the best cuisine from the top restaurants all over the world, the fact is, there are many people who will never have the opportunity to taste that kind of cuisine.
One way to measure a culture's food, which we find especially telling, is to look at the types of food that they serve in their hospitals. We've been able to gather some samples of the various types of hospital meals from all over the world. Which country would YOU rather visit a hospital in?
