No. I haven't tried that. I have had chipped ham and thinly sliced salami. I have actually eaten a small piece of pizza as long as the crust is fairly thin. I know. Eating in public is no fun. My husband is very patient and lets me take my time, but if I go with anybody else I feel as if I am holding them up. Unfortunately, I have never liked baked beans, otherwise I am sure that those would work. I had lunch at our local coffee shop today, and they had Italian wedding soup, and I thought that would work, but the meatballs and spinach stuck to my teeth, so I finally gave up. Some days are beter than others, I guess that I just need to keep trying different things.

Okay, I think you need to do the Scarlett O'Hara at the barbeque trick (remember, back in the day 'ladies' didn't chow down in public). Basically, you eat before you go out to eat. Snarf down a protein shake, for example. Then you go out to eat, and have a small portion or appetizer ... you get the pleasure of company and something different to taste without the need to rush. Very French.

Well, Fiddle Dee Dee! That's a pretty good idea. I usually do just have an appetizer, and most of my friends are used to me bringing my Ensure with me. French onion soup works pretty well, too, as long as I try not to eat much of the cheese. The soup makes the croutons nice and soft and mushy.

Hi everyone! I haven't really posted much but read all the time on this site. I can't eat or swallow yet, but hopefully that will change at the end of June. I have a peg tube, but I do cheat with foods. I have found most everything burns my tongue and throat. Does that happen to you all when you try to eat or swallow.

Ooo Zen buy the stouffers chipped beef! make some toast take off crust if too hard Ron does that and put the chpped beef over it! He loves that too, or make your own if you know how if not and want to know how if you like it let me know!

Hey, Suez, I hadn't thought of that. I should have, though. I make a dip with sour cream, mayo, dill, and chipped beef and I can eat that. I serve it in a rye bread bowl and dip the bread in it. I make it every Christmas, and if I get it really goopy I can even eat the bread.

Hey it's okay - probably the sensitivity to the acids etc... It takes a whole of trying and practice and maybe chasing it with something smooth.... Protein shake to sooth it. Good luck

Wish I hadn't used my name..I was still in shock. Put the cigarettes down easily..not so the alcohol. Was in AA sobriety for 17 years..but then I picked up. Die or drink? If you haven't had the obsession then it doesn't make sense..I'm trying..or am I dying!?

Just venting..
