Another DITTO,

For a few months everything tasted like sawdust, dirt or camel puke * snickers *

I even looked forward to chemo because I could taste something when they rinsed my port with saline, nummy!
Coming up on 2 years later, I have my salt and pepper shakers handy. My pallet certainly has changed, I am still avoiding breads, dry stuff and hamburger, but I am eating soild foods, even a good tender steak or truly moist roasted chicken for 95% of my nutrition, just different things than I ate before.

Now, I drove my wife NUTS for many months by going to the store and buying lots of different things to try, one or two bites later, I walk away. Poor gal, hating to see food go to waste, it wound up on hers! Except for the chicken liver soup I was making for a few months.

Tinker with food, if it sounds good, go for it! But for that initial experimenting stage, ya might need a big, hungry dog.
