Malnutrition

Malnutrition

Sir.

Is there a shortage of:—
1Pudding bowls:
2The usual plain vegetables:
3Cutlery;
4Good plain sandwiches;
5Variety of meals—stew, stew, stew, mutton, fish.

Now is there? No one really thinks so unless of course they cat in our Cafeteria where second sitting meals are regularly non-existent.

Something can surely be done about being faced at ten minutes to one (not ten past, when there is often nothing!) with one hamroll no sandwiches, one lettuce leaf, one plate of indigestible cream buns, no soup and a wide choice or pies (meat and meat, crust and crust)—with at least six more people to come.

Shortages are as rampant as boredom induced by lack of variety in the food.

Bored and Starved.
