AnnotationThe first recorded home-meals service was established in 1905 by the Invalid Kitchens Service in the Metropolitan Borough of Southwark. This article considers how the meals on wheels service is changing, the nourishment value of the food with changing tastes, how ethnic and traditional preferences are catered for, and the views of consumers. David Hobman visited two London Boroughs (Kensington and Chelsea, and Haringey) to find out how the system works. Karen Hyland, who chairs the British Dietetic Association's Nutrition Advisory Group for Elderly People, makes an assessment of the food on offer. (RH).
