Potatoes didn't taste well for me until more then a few months after radiation. They had a real dry, papery feel in my mouth. They are fine now but it took some time. Does Julie like French Onion Soup? I ate TONS of that, still do, and did long before cancer paid me a visit. I also put cheese on everything now, melted, it helps me alot.
