Just guessing here because I have no idea, but the Enza might have masked some of the other taste senses. Does he still have a good sense of smell (which is heavily involved in taste too)? What about trying some more spicy foods, maybe things that your father might have found too spicy in the past? This is a suggestion made to many older people who lose some of their sense of taste with age. Some more salt or using MSG (mono sodium glutamate) might help too - try testing that with some Parmezan cheese which contains both.

It's good that the Enza is working, and wishing your dad all the best.

Good morning,

Andy, thanks a lot for the explanation, I'm new here so I now understand it, really appreciated giving visibility to this conversation.

What you suggest is very true, I was talking to my dad in regards the sense of smell, as it is so close to the sense of taste. Also something we have done is to change certain habits. For example now breakfast is not bread and milkmwith coffee but more japanesse style misho soup with different ingredients. As misho soup is i not sweet but saltier, it seems to be more enjoyable for him.

So experimenting and selecting the recipees that work is now the challenge.

Chris, thanks for your previous feedback and sharing your experience, always encouraging.

Thanks for all your support and have a lovely weekend,

Lluis
