The food zigzag brought us to happier territory. He is indulging in smoked sablefish aka "real food" and potato salad and bananas. The potato salad was banished tonight in favor of baked potatoes again and lemon tarts are back on his menu. Also he tried a little angel hair pasta so... much better and less worrisome for me for now.

Hello @tamarab Reading this made me remember some of the eating challenges my wife experienced during her illness. Her tastebuds seemed to change at will as did what aromas she found appealing one day and then suddenly found appalling, No rhyme or reason to it and often included foods she had previously loved for years. She finally landed on foods that were quite bland and non-aromatic. Wishing you well!
