Hey guys...

My Dad has oral cancer as most of you know. The radiation has got it down to where, he can taste foods in his mouth but once he swallows and the food hits the back of his tongue, it tastes like metal.

Do you guys happen to know any recipies that you've made for a loved one or even if you've dealt with cancer that would taste good and be enjoyable? He's also got type 2 diabetes so sweets aren't a good idea, and he LOVES meat.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if anything will help much if it tastes metal, as that's most likely because of a change in the nerves themselves, but perhaps something spicy?
like something with lots of garlic, chili, curry....? - marinade for the meat?

If he has cancer, he can better leave the meat (cut it down to a small piece of organic chicken once a week), eat lots of (fat) fish, and even more vegetables. And yes, use spices ... and cook food in coconut oil. I advise him to contact a (Christian) orthomolecular consultant. S/he might be able to give more/better advise. God bless :)

Honey-soy Broiled Salmon
One sweet, tangy and salty mixture does double-duty as marinade and sauce. Toasted sesame seeds provide a nutty and attractive accent. Make it a Meal: Serve with brown rice and sauteed red peppers and zucchini slices.

Ingredients
1 scallion, minced
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 pound center-cut salmon fillet, skinned (see Tip) and cut into 4 portions
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (see Tip)

Instructions
  1. Whisk scallion, soy sauce, vinegar, honey and ginger in a medium bowl until the honey is dissolved. Place salmon in a sealable plastic bag, add 3 tablespoons of the sauce and refrigerate; let marinate for 15 minutes. Reserve the remaining sauce.
  2. Preheat broiler. Line a small baking pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Transfer the salmon to the pan, skinned-side down. (Discard the marinade.) Broil the salmon 4 to 6 inches from the heat source until cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with the reserved sauce and garnish with sesame seeds.
TIP: How to skin a salmon fillet: Place salmon fillet on a clean cutting board, skin-side down. Starting at the tail end, slip the blade of a long knife between the fish flesh and the skin, holding down firmly with your other hand. Gently push the blade along at a 30° angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either.
TIP: To toast seeds: Cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.

Put on top crust, press outer edges of crust(s) together. Cut 2 slits on top. Put foil only around outer edges of pie so it won't burn. Cook in oven for 25 to 35 minutes at 400'....
This receipe can be adjusted to any dimension you like-add corn-add hominy-add jalapenos, etc.

Cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Slicing is easier once it has time to cool off. Serve with sourcream.

My Dad had cancer on his tongue. We had to feed him baby food. He couldn't talk too good so I didn't know if it tasted all right. We fed him yogurt, too & soup. I hope your Dad gets well soon.
