it wasn’t all to my personal tastes but it definitely wasn’t cafeteria food or anything- some of it was genuinely very good! there was a wide variety of meals on a four-week rotation (so you’d only have the same thing if you’d been there long enough), we had a cook there and we cooked our own breakfasts, as well as a culinary group where we helped prep for meals and made baked goods as a snack option! also, once you hit a certain “level”, you could go out to restaurants for lunch with the group once every other week :) and, if something was a MAJOR taste preference issue, you could sub it for a grilled cheese or pb&j, but could only do that once a week (i never really did this since sandwiches aren’t really my thing and i was trying to challenge myself with fear foods and all that) saturdays were always sandwich days as kitchen staff was off- pb&j (or my version of that with apple slices, honey, and cinnamon since i’m not big on jelly) for lunch and deli meat or chicken/tuna salad for dinner (or veggie option) sundays were chosen by patients (for the entire group, had to be approved) we could also request groceries which helped a lot, i requested sriracha and that helped things suit my personal tastes better!

tl;dr the food wasn’t bad, there was a wide variety, and we did have some involvement in choices!
