Many years ago I had a vacation job in an old folks home with
required me to spoonfeed pap to ancient people who could no longer feed
themselves or even chew. Everything was soft easy to swallow pap, bland
and tasteless.

While feeding them I used to ponder what tasty pap would I prefer to be
spoonfed in my dotage and I've been making a list ever since. It's long
been a joke with my friends and family that this is what they're to feed
me.

I've no idea if any of these will be suitable for you. If you've still
got teeth you're winning :-)

Mashed raw ripe avocado with a little lemon juice salt and black
pepper
Mashed potato with butter and chicken gravy
Haggis with neeps and tatties
Mince and tatties
Yoghurt and (any) stewed fruit
Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon
Rice pudding with jam
Curried lentils with spinach and rice
Baked flaked white fish with mushy peas and grilled tomato
Mashed banana with maple syrup
Cauliflower in cheese sauce
Mashed (tinned) sardines with lemonjuice.
Home made soups, of course.
Egg custard
risotto
Raw oysters
