Believe it or not, I opted for Ragu with spaghetti noodles. The tomatoe didn't bother me and the noodles went down good. I downed jars over a week. Cottage cheese wasn't bad. Soups were harder for me to swallow and caused me to cough and choke. The taste preferences will change by the hour. Start with the favorites of past and work through them but don't make too much of any one because it can change by the mouthful, even a year later.
