My dad's CH have recently started pureeing all his meals not due to problems swallowing but because he has no upper teeth and is very slow to chew and also often spits out hard bits eg. peas, cauliflower, carrots etc. I'm never actually there during mealtimes so haven't seen the appearance of his food (though can't imagine it's that lovely) but just wonder whether pureed meals taste as nice? He's so few pleasures left in life apart from eating it just makes me a little sad that this might now been spoilt and am not sure if it's more for the convenience of the carers so they can feed him quickly although have been assured not. I did mention about mashing his food rather than pureeing but seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Any comments gratefully appreciated.
