Soft food recommendations please
I am cooking a meal for my Granddad at the weekend and I have been told it has to be soft food as he has no energy to ches. So something like shepperds pie but he has had that all week. He had a piece of cod last night but said that was too hard, and my aunt tried it and said ti wasn't hard at all. Any ideas much appreciated?
It hought fish pie but if he found cod hard I think that maybe too much |

Could you make a normal meal and partly blend it for your grandad ?

Soup maybe, or a creamy risotto? I'm surprised he found cod "hard", was it simply grilled? Fish with a soft texture should be fine, particularly Plaice or Lemon Sole. Hake is also very soft.

that's what we found nonsense was cod being hard, he's quite stubborn and on one at the minute. I don't like the idea odf blended food

Braised lamb shanks with mash.
Cooked long enough it should be falling apart and not a problem to eat. |

Would he eat a dhal curry or a chilli? How about cauliflower or macaroni cheese, with mash? Minestrone. Cheese and spinach omelette. Tuna casserole or a pasta sauce with tuna or salmon. Egg, mash and beans. Vegetable couscous. Eggs florentine. Aubergine parmigiana. Field mushroom rarebit, topped with spinach, with mash. A sort of fish pie, without fish - mushrooms, leeks, well-cooked carrots, peas in a cheese sauce, topped with mash.

hmmm I might ask my mum to see if he would like that. He doesn't like foreign food, so chilli's and curries are out of the question. As is pasta. I wanted to do Chicken pie until I was told it had to be soft rubbish

How about making a Cauliflower Cheese as this is very soft to eat, and serve it with some mash and gravy, all of which should go down easily.

Can you sort of shred the chicken in it? Or would the fact that it was chicken mean he wouldn't try it?
I like the idea of cauliflower cheese though mmmmm |

I said this last night to my mum and she said what about a chicken casserole as the chicken will break down in it. I am not on the hunt for a yummy recipe.
I like the idea of cauliflower cheese though mmmmm But poshed-up cauliflower cheese (with leeks, mushrooms perhaps) might be the way to go, with colcannon mash or a fancier mash (swede/potato mix or something). |

not a meat eater either so can't remember how tough meat is and if you think cod is tough there really is no hope. I don't want to ring and ask him what he fancies or it could end in an argument

How about stovies- It's a Scottish dish made from mince mashed up into potatoes. Theres lots of variations of the recipe and I have adapted it to suit myself.
My version. Partially boiled potatoes with leek. Fry sausage meat (I usually slit open a couple of sausages) with onion. Then add the potatoes and mash it in with the meat add a wee bit of stock or gravy. |
