He is/was an extremely gentle man but I still quake when I think of the vegetarian shepherd's pie I made him once which he simply refused to eat and insisted I cooked a proper one. Not sure whether the Alzheimer's is going to enhance or negate this tendency.
I loathe Quorn though. Have tried it in various guises via SW. Would much rather have lentils. And therein lies another interesting problem. I'm sure I've mentioned this before but my mum was on the Laconia when it was torpedoed and has been on all sorts of TV programmes and films in the last 20 years. She is the world's unfussiest eater but almost vomits when anyone mentions lentils because she had to live on them for so long. They were interned for about a year.

roman gladiators were known as 'bean eaters' and had, basically, a vegetarian diet - i gather they functioned pretty well!
