This reminds me of '99 when I broke my jaw (and badly bit my tongue as
part of the deal) playing ultimate frisbee. For 6 weeks I couldn't
eat solid food. My particular favorites, and probably 90% of my
caloric intake, were fruit smoothies (from the now-defunct Crazy
Carrot chain in Minneapolis) and beer (tasted good, nice carb level,
and helped with the swelling).

Some of my friends in frisbee had a cookout a few weeks after my
injury, and make me a fresh grilled bratwurst *smoothie*. Now that
was disgusting.
