My mother is in the hospital and is on a soft food diet. I've helped her fill out her menu card for a few days (read: I've filled out her menu card when I have been present, and my father has filled it out when I haven't).
My mother gets either pureed beef or pureed chicken. It looks like a damn grey rectangle. This is accompanied by mashed potatoes, which looks like a damn beige rectangle. When my father or I pulls the lid off the entree tray, she screams "TAKE IT AWAY!!!!" I don't blame her - I wouldn't eat it.
She also gets applesauce (that she refuses), jello (that she takes with great reluctance), tea loaded with sugar (that she accepts), and soup (that she accepts depending on the soup - actually the soup isn't half bad for hospital food).
This is for lunch - my father, husband, and I are there to encourage her to eat. For dinner and breakfast ... she is presented with a tray of food, but it's outside visiting hours, so my guess is that she's refusing everything but the tea.
Bottom line, that pureed beef / chicken loaf shouldn't be served to anyone. Frell. *I* turned up my nose at it!
