Hi Sergio,

I work for Jamie's youtbube channel. We are currently looking to record some questions for the food team to answer for upcoming videos.
This is a great question and I am sure you will get some wonderful responces from the forum members but if you would like to ask Jamie's food team and possibly be featured on the channel add 'jamiefoodtube' to skype and we can record the question.

Cheers,

Charlie.

sergio nice to see you back , you should call in more often .

It was only for the first few days that my family used to find it painful and sore to eat so they just ate soft foods that they fancied.
( and yes this was used to their advantage to get those lovely soft sweet deserts !)
After those first few days the discomfort would settle down and they would be back to normal with their meals , just being a bit careful of the brace.

soft warming casserole type dishes that have been slow cooked for hours so the meat is almost falling apart with mashed potato was good. with plenty of rich norishing gravey.
I  often mash something like parsnip or sweede into the potato as well .

savory rice, with small chopped saute vegetables added.

Very fine noodles with fine chopped veg or meat and a good sauce.

Fish... fish is soft and so that shuls also be fine to try and eat.

Not much puts my family off their food as you can see !

Lentil soup. If you use red lentils they will disintegrate into a puree once cooked. I fry onions, carrots and potatoes, diced small, then add the lentils and some ham stock. I use a pressure cooker to cook til the lentils are soft; on the hob it takes about an hour and a half boiling. once the lentils are done, the other veg will be very soft. You can use a hand blender or potato masher to make it totally smooth if you want.

This is high in protein and very comforting. Sorry about no quantities, I do this by eye and the amount of lentils depends on individual taste anyway - some like it quite thin, some so thick you can stand your spoon up in it! In any case, it thickens as it stands.

Dim Sum is prety soft. Vietnamese Pho is something I had in BanhMi 11 last week, seriously tasty. Minestrone is a good one that Jamie has online somewhere.
Are Brakes brackets the same as braces?
I had a brace as a tenager for a while, what a pain that was.
Good Luck.

Hi everybody!
Ok first things first: as I said, I really miss you guys, unfortunately (or better, fortunately) I've been very busy with my trainings. Its the first year of my company and I'm all alone which means Im doing everything from scratch, translating manuals, power point presentations, booking rooms, finding students, getting them to book the trainings, bank accounts...
But it's good to be back. In Portugal we have a saying that says something like "The good soon always returns home" so I'm back!

Now, thank you all so much for your help.
Until yesterday I've been eating soups with vegs, lentils, soy, sometimes I'd mix some grinded meat or fish.
Yesterday I made a fish pie and I managed to chew it without much effort.
The doc said this should last for 2 wks, yupiii...

So thanks Kye (Hi little duckie ) , Mummza, Ashen, hippytea, birdymum, goose and of course Grandma (ciao bella  )
