Depends very much where they are at! Can you find out what they really fancy! I remember my Dad wanted Tripe, and 'mums quiche' which was reallly the alison holyst self crusting he's moaned about for years lol. If they like Kumera or Pumpkin that as soup would be lovely comfort food. In my experience it's anything soft, that won't burn if they've got mouth ulcers.Pasta! Mac and cheese with well cooked pasta.Scalloped potatoes.Meat (something soft like lamb, cornbeef or mince) with mashed potato and gravey. Be prepared for them to just 'pick'.

A few years ago I was a volunteer that made food for cancer patients and they gave us a recipe book of the meals to prepare.Ring the cancer society and ask them about the recipe book.

if the person is still vomitting give them some condensed milk which will put a lining on their stomach also smoothed vege soup and lots of ice cream too. Mum died from cancer earlier this year and she couldn't eat any lumpy food.

Custard tarts are often appreciated by cancer patients.

Really hope you can get some help here - my hubby has just finished chemo/radiation head area and as a result has lost all taste and has very sore mouth.If he cannot eat solid foods, you would have to puree everything - and don't forget the substitute types e.g. Sustagen, Ensure, Fortisip drinks - they at least help you through the non-eating phase.If a sore mouth, lack of saliva etc is an issue this of course can also not be palatable. Extreme mouth hygiene is essential for head cancer patients.- Best of luck, we're still struggling!

2bakerz - I have been in your situation.It is very hard, but eventually a degree of tasting will return.Ensure is a life saver, and large drinking straws were a great help (the wide ones that are sold in Asian shops for bubble tea) as they enable a decent quantity of liquid to be taken in without too much straining.One thing that my husband found easy to eat and tasty was fresh salmon - it is soft textured and strongly flavoured, also nourishing.
