Think fine French food. Comes with lots of good sauces. Chicken wings and thighs are much more moist than breasts. While I was having radiation, breakfast foods and soups went down easiest until all I could taste was salt. Then I just gave up and just drank Ensure Plus. More calories per swallow and I actually liked the coffee and butter pecan. Didn't know about the Carnation VHC. I only had 12 front teeth for year and a half so like you chewing was a challenge. Felt like a rabbit and it took forever to eat anything. Keep at it. Things do improve with time.
Take care,
Eileen
