I've had a few friends over the years who've been put on a liquid/very soft food diet for months on end - either due to teeth/jaw problems or cancer issues...and it gets boring very quickly if they're just limited to soups and milk puddings through a straw.
One of them had severe stomach cancer and his wife cooked everything as normal and then pureed each item separately in a blender ( I think she said she had about 5 of them) so he could swallow it.
My mother is in a similar situation with the added complication of being diabetic and in a hospice. She is being given a soft cauliflower cheese dinner and for pudding a diabetic strawberry mousse which she enjoys.
I just wondered if any of you had various interesting ideas for mushy food?

Yes, not too spicy...I understand that chemo makes the anus red raw, so a few extra spices won't be that welcome.

It looks good Cotty, but there is approx a 20% hint of peas and even more than that of a fish slurry...the mash wasn't shouting out to me.
It's probably cultural differences,but plenty of mash, creamed potatoes, bread and butter is the norm a little bit ( but not all the way) up north smile
