    For those who don’t recognise what’s on the plate; it is a meal of cooked Eclipse biscuits, mincemeat, and shredded beets. The beverage was water.

    I am surprised none of it is crawling.

    For a moment there I thought……..never mind, too early.


  3. Good job they’ve got that new state-of-the-art kitchen to cook their eclipse biscuits in


  4. @Caswell

    It would be an interesting comparison to see a meal served at the QEH. We know of the stigmatization attached to mentally ill patients.


  5. Cooked Eclipse biscuits mimicking yam or mash?


  6. So wunna thought wunna could plant shiite and reap sweets?

    What did we expect when a bunch of clowns – who have been failures in their own personal lives, were given charge of our national affairs…?
    How are the prospective BLP alternatives any better?
    We clearly need a deeper national introspection than just jumping from the frying pan into the fire and back every 5 years…

    We need to seek out persons who can actually get things done, and who exemplify quality and excellence, to lead nationally …. if we want quality results that is….


  7. Prison food ! Makes us want to stay out !


  8. First of all Caswell you are not a nutritionist and also not a medical physician or a mental health professional upon which you can base your information as to why a patient or patients might have a menu as pictured
    Although a picture might worth a thousand words the weight of this picture is dependable on those who have a access to the patients medical records.
    Btw i ate cooked eclipse biscuits as a child for its carbohydrate value which can be benefical in helping to promote weight for individuals who are prone to chronic weight loss as in the sick and elderly

    That shiite should be banned immediately.


  10. Bush shi.t eclispe also helps in slowing down diarrhea which would be of great help to you a condition which is evident daily on BU coming from your mouth as well as your a.ss

  12. it seems that BU is now a JOURNAL OF NUTRITION and dat everyone here is now an expert

    can anyone of you experts say what the diet at Jenkins should be like?
    please state the calorie count and percentages of proteins, fats, carbohydrates s, vitamins and minerals that should be provided

    please explain why water is a poor alternative to soda or kool aid or whatever

    BU THE JOURNAL OF NUTRITION……..what a bajan belly laff

    one does not have to wait for LAFF IT OFF anually these days
    now you have BU daily


  13. How much of this gook is the ACs and Porgies willing to eat on any extended period of time although we don’t know on how many occasions that diet is serves especially giver the cut-backs at most institutions.

    Maybe we can ask Porgie for the ,,,,”calorie count and percentages of proteins, fats, carbohydrates s, vitamins and minerals that should be provided” for those inmates. Is BU where Porgies come for “belly laff” entertainment? Where is the entertainment in food such as that? Why don’t you people use your keyboards for your different entertainments other than on BU. Give us a break from breaking the will of sensible people here. Why not try giving that swill to any of your Ministers and see where it will get you?

    It would be interesting to know what the other meals would look like at that and the other institutions.


  14. It is amazing to read comments in this forum from people who should know better.

    Hospital food standards

    The quality of food provided in hospitals is important to patients, and hospitals should cater for your personal dietary needs.

    If you need a particular type of food โ€“ such as kosher, halal, vegetarian, or vegan โ€“ inform staff. You may be asked to complete a menu sheet each day.

    You should also tell staff if you have concerns about your diet, or if you have lost weight or lost your appetite. If you would like help, advice or support relating to your diet, you may be referred to a dietitian.

    Hospitals often operate what is called a "protected" mealtime system. This ensures nursing and catering staff are available to serve food and assist patients if necessary so they can enjoy their food in a more relaxed atmosphere.

    Unless they are helping with the food service, visitors may be asked to leave or be prevented from entering the ward during the food service. At this time all other ward activities will stop.

    The exact arrangements for food may differ between wards. Some wards have facilities that provide snacks or lighter meals. You may also be allowed to bring in food and store it in the ward’s fridge.

    However, wards often have strict rules about food for safety reasons. Non-perishable foods and drink are normally allowed. However, perishable food and drinks may be restricted or banned altogether. Check with staff on your ward about their policy.

    What should I expect as a patient?

    You should expect:

    • nutritious, tasty, appetising food and drink โ€“ this is an essential part of your personal package of care
    • a choice from a varied menu that includes meals suitable for your religious, cultural, or dietary needs
    • access to fresh water at all times โ€“ unless this contradicts medical advice
    • to get the help you need to eat and enjoy your meals

    Hospital food data on NHS Choices

    On this website, you can already compare hospitals according to a range of subjects, such as waiting times, facilities, specialist treatments, consultants, and patient safety.

    You can also see how a hospital performs according to the way it organises its food services and the quality of the food it serves. Look up your local hospital and look at the "Food choice and quality indicator".

    If you’re interested in a more detailed breakdown, visit the My NHS website, which publishes in-depth performance data. You can search for hospitals in England by postcode or location to find out how they are performing.

    You will also be able to see how the hospital is rated for the quality and choice of its food, and whether:

    • there is a choice at breakfast
    • fresh fruit is always available
    • food is available between meals
    • the menu has been approved by a dietitian

    Information is also provided about the amount the hospital spends on its food services per patient, per day.

    You can find more detailed information about each indicator by clicking on the information icon displayed under each indicator. For a summary of your search results, use the "Export this data" button at the top of the page.

    Hospital Food Standards Panel Report

    As part of a wider initiative to improve hospital food standards, this interactive map is being published at the same time as a Hospital Food Standards Panel (HFSP) report, led by Dianne Jeffrey from Age UK.

    The panel, set up by Dr Dan Poulter, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Health, examined existing http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/AboutNHSservices/NHShospitals/Pages/hospital-food-standards.aspxhttp://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/AboutNHSservices/NHShospitals/Pages/hospital-food-standards.aspxfood standards, advising on how they should be applied and monitored, and recommending future improvements.

    The aim is to improve food and drink across the NHS so everyone who eats in hospital has a healthy food experience, and ensure that everyone involved in its production is valued.

  19. @ Caswell,
    I am not defending the meals served but it is true that many Bajans have mastered the art of “cooking” eclipse biscuits. Many of us would have had them as meals or part of our meals over the years.


  20. If one going to lay accusations then one has to show proof not good enough to place half truth and perceptions in a soup bowl of sensationalism and not be questioned except by the BU nitwits who are eager to gobble up
    The article takes a picture and tries to transform with a scathing allegation but absent are the writers medical credentials to verify such allegations as wrong.


  21. Let us revisit articles from BU Archives on the much aligned mental health institution at Back Rock referred to as Jenkins. There is always BU to lobby the cause of the underdog.

    SIR YOUR POST CONTAINS SOUND DOCTRINE THAT CAN NOT BE REFUTED

    WHEREAS THE FOOD MAY NOT LOOK APETISING NONE OF YOU NUTRITION ILLITERATES CAN COMMENT ON THE BALANCE OF CARBS PROTEINS FATS OR EVEN THE TASTE

    IT SEEMS THE TREND ON BU IS FOR BASICALLY THE SAME SET OF FOLK TO COME DAILY AND BASH AND CRITICIZE EVEN WHEN THEIR COMMENTS ARE OUT OF THE AMBIT OF THEIR EXPERTISE


  23. That plate is lacking a green vegetable, a yellow vegetable, a glass of milk, and half a banana, slice of pawpaw, or some other fruit. Water should be available all during the day. Failing the two vegetables, a good salad with mixed veggies….cucumber, tomatoes, onions, parsley and leaf lettuce would suffice.

    I do not call myself a nutritionist, but studied nutrition and convalescent cookery to ‘O’ level at O&C in the early sixties.

    If you are not defending the meal what is your point then?

    Do you accept this is a good meal to feed mentally ill patients?

  28. @ David,
    “If you are not defending the meal what is your point then?

    Do you accept this is a good meal to feed mentally ill patients?

    Stop hugging the issue.”

    I said that I am not defending the meal and went on to say that ‘cooked” eclipse biscuits was a popular dish known to many of us. I don’t really see how this is “hugging” or even hogging the issue. I find it strange that we are talking about fast foods and obesity but will try to denigrate a food many of us “came up on” when there was less obesity. How ironic. For your information cooked eclipse biscuits could be considered a kind of Bajan delicacy.


  29. @ Georgie Porgie,

    It is obvious that many of those commenting on the meal, did not know that “cooked” eclipse is a part of Bajan cuisine.


  30. Georgie Porgie, in those days we ate everything. Lots of fruit and vegetables. Of course, people who lived in town had to buy and could not afford to eat like the country folk. But everyone drank milk, ate christophenes and spinach, even mustard leaves cooked in rice. Green bananas, etc. you could buy an orange in the Fairchild street market for a penny which we did and ate on the school bus. In those days we also ate sob biscuits cooked up with lots of
    flying fish with steamed/boiled okras on the side. Pumpkin was a staple and eaten aplenty when in season. We cured ours in the cellar and had all year round.

    The fact you have to come to terms with is that this is a HEALTH institution. Meals should be balanced, nutritious and adequate.


  31. I really enjoy and learn a lot from Georgie Porgie when he makes serious comments. Other times when he is trying to be funny, such as now, he morph into an insufferable ass. You are learned; stick to that. You are not funny. Leave that to Bushie.

    do you think that the chaps at Jenkins are using the shreded beets as SUPER BEETS?

    You do know that there is a lot of hype on line about SUPER BEETS.


  33. @William

    Do you accept that we have become a sedentary society?

    Do you accept we are discussing a menu being delivered to mental patients in 2016?

    What has that got to do with how you were raise in a village setting 50 years ago?

  38. Georgie Porgie

    As I said before, I really learn a lot from the serious comments you make. Others, wilt lesser intellect might might try ridicule you when they either don’t understand or agree with you. You might be surprised but I am grateful for your serious comments. Rather than keep on that track, you allow yourself to be derailed by silly people and then you sink to their level. For them, that is the only level they know and will stay there. You can do better. Don’t you see that I routinely ignore the contributions of the ACs. They do not bring value to BU. You have been doing so and can continue to the benefit of people like me, who want to learn.

    By the way, I merely posted a picture of a meal that was being fed to patients, without comment. I thought that the public should be aware.

    I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT AT ALL
    WHAT I AM HAVING FUN WITH IS THE BASHING THAT EMANATED FROM YOUR INNOCENT POST IN WHICH NOTHING HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT THE NUTRITIONAL CONTENT IN TERMS OF CULTURE CALORIE COUNT OR COMPoNENTS {ratio of carbs to fats to proteins etc}
    whereas you might not like my style of delivery, what I have said can not be refuted

    YOUR PHOTO ALLOWS DISCUSSION ONLY ON AESTHETIC APPEARANCE BUT ON NOTHING ELSE,BUT YET THE BU BASHERS STARTED THEIR DAILY DRIVEL


  40. Another question for your William. If you were to be admitted to the Black Rock institution would you want to be fed what is pictured?

    People back in the day ate cooked biscuits because they were poor and could not do any better.

    Oh shiiirt, this government cannot do any better either!


  41. VOB has reported that Minister Lowe was admitted to the hospital last Friday. Not sure if QEH or Black Rock.

    Hope is meals are more appetizing. Bear in mind a meal should be an enjoyable experience (BU says so!)

    Here is wishing him a quick recovery.

    โ€œThe fact you have to come to terms with is that this is a HEALTH institution. Meals should be balanced, nutritious and adequate.โ€

    @ Georgie Porgie

    Despite the fact you have responded to this issue with a great amount of arrogance (LOL), I have to agree with you, especially if the nutritional value of the meal is taken into consideration, rather than what ingredients were used to create the said meal or accepting the photograph on its โ€œface value.โ€

    The reason why Iโ€™m forced to agree with your position is because I have a heart problem for which I was hospitalized on a few occasions. I heard many people criticizing the hospitalโ€™s food and I asked a friend bring a โ€œsnack boxโ€ for me, from โ€œChicken Barn.โ€ The nurses on duty informed me that eating such foods would be detrimental to my health, because they contained high levels of salt and grease.

    It was then I realized that food is prepared according to the condition from which one is suffering.

    As a โ€œheart patient,โ€ I was given a special type of diet, which did not include salt; fried or boiled meats such as pork, beef, lamb; salted-fish; red herring; salted beef; โ€œsoft drinksโ€ and tin foods (corned beef, luncheon meat, sausages, mackerel, etc). Patients are not fed the over-sized portions they receive at home, and within 1 week, I lost weight to suit the weight of an individual of my age at that time, and height.

    Before I was discharged on the first occasion, I had to meet with a Nutritionist who advised me what foods I should eat and how to prepare them for breakfast, lunch, dinner and general snacks.

    Surely you must agree human nature would dictate any reasonable individual who looks at the food in the photograph and subsequently became aware of the ingredients used to prepare the meal, the mention of โ€œcooked biscuitsโ€ would rightfully evoke some level of emotionalism.

You are good at spinning the wheel on BU in your favour on every discussion this time the wheel fell and bashed you in your head.. idiot


  46. re People back in the day ate cooked biscuits because they were poor and could not do any better.

    in jamaica People back in the day ate ackee and saltfish because they were poor and could not do any better ACKEE AND SALFISH IS NOW THE ESTABLISHED AND REGALED NATIONAL DISH OF JAMAICA.

    in many countries of the world people ate this that and the other because they were poor and could not do any better.

    TODAY, VISITORS TO THESE COUNTRIES ENJOY SOME OF THESE SAME FOODS ah lie?
    WATCH ZIMMERNS SHOW AND ANTHONY BORDEAUX SHOW


  47. Further William, the emphasis is BU’s

    Eating well and mental health

    This leaflet is for everyone who wants to eat healthily. It is particularly for people who feel that their mental health problem or its treatment has affected them in the way they eat.

    Eating well โ€“ what does it mean?

    This can actually mean a lot of different things to different people. Broadly speaking it means eating in a way so that:

    our weight remains normal โ€“ not too low and not to high
    our weight remains stable โ€“ not going up and down all the time
    all necessary food groups and vitamins are available
    eating becomes and remains an enjoyable experience.


  48. @William

    Here s what we do with cook biscuits in 2016, we use for stuffing when baking the fowl.


  49. @William

    Do you recall we use to use buckets and basins to have our baths and it did not prevent us from growing to big men and women

    Oh dear, that is not a good example because Bajans in the North have had to revert to the bucket and despite their modern day facilities.

    One has to admit though that the bucket and basin to bath is still functional.


  50. i have been to expensive restaurants and been presented with food that looked good but did not taste good
    eating becomes and remains an enjoyable experience WHEN THE FOOD TASTES GOOD.

    EVERY ONE THAT DRIVELS ON BU DAILY HAVE /HAD A MOTHER WHO WAS TO THEM THE BEST COOK IN THE WORLD BECAUSE THEY PREPARED FOOD THAT TASTED GOOD…………USING WHAT EVER THEY HAD

    ITS CALLED CULTURAL CUISINE
