Non chewy food

fibernie

Have you got a speech and language therapist or a dietitian who can help you? SLTs (I am one) advise on problems with chewing and swallowing and a dietitian could suggest foods you can eat at the right consistency as well as keeping your nutritional intake at the right level.

I make potato cakes, basicaly cold mash with a loads of flour, then fried both sides in a non stick pan with oil. these are really soft.

You could serve with tinned spaghetti hoops ( tescos own ones practically melt away, no chewing) and or poached/fried egg if you can manage that?

Some veg roasted goes really soft, stuff like courgete, marrow, squash for example might be ok if you cut them small enough.
