Re: Food
When step dad was poorly in his later years , I have to admit he was a nightmare to feed
He had lost most taste, his chewing and swallowing wasn’t the best and to keep him enticed and eating took a lot of thought
He still loved something like a curry, strong flavours he actually got to taste Roast dinner was off the menu but a stew he managed. He also liked his sweet food so crumbles and stewed fruit and tinned custard got made as well as triffle and kippers, he could taste them and still enjoyed them
So for him it was small tiny meals of what he enjoyed. To get veg into him I made soup, lots of strong flavours and blended
At 86 we didn’t worry so much about a balanced diet, just one that he ate and enjoyed
What I’m basically saying is eat what you enjoy, when you can. There’s nothing to say a bowl of curry for breakfast is wrong. What’s wrong is when eating is a chore and you can’t be arsed so stop eating
