My grandpa lost his teeth by the time I was born. The only things I know of
for sure he couldn't eat were nuts, raw carrots and apple peelings. He ate
everything else, well, of what he would eat. There were plenty of things he
wouldn't eat even if he did have teeth. But he ate steaks, pork chops,
chicken, roasts, vegetables and breads with no problems.
