Well this hospital-themed eatery could be the cure. Dishes like salted herring fillet, crunchy potato pancakes and grilled pork steak can be eaten in an operating theatre, gynaecology room or dental surgery, as you tuck in with surgical instruments and sip cocktails from test tubes!" I saw this in the Ryanair magazine and had to share it! In a strange way...I want to go to the Hospitalis, Latvia for my dinner! Has anyone been? -------------------- Scotland & Ireland Dots round Europe & A Brazilian New Year The Big Trip! & Israel

Before taking an order You will be asked to sign Informative patient (read client) agreement" hahahahahhahahaaha!! -------------------- Scotland & Ireland Dots round Europe & A Brazilian New Year The Big Trip! & Israel

This one in Latvia seems quite cheap - I think the ad said €21 for two courses and a drink - I'm comparing that to Dublin prices...! -------------------- Scotland & Ireland Dots round Europe & A Brazilian New Year The Big Trip! & Israel

I don't recall food being served, just drinks from test tubes, saline bags and syringes! A cocktail saline bag was something like $50! -------------------- If you really look like your passport photo, you need the holiday!
