Every time my (underweight) mother is in hospital, they try to give her
something like Ensure. She tried it once and spit it out, as did I LOL.
It's nasty stuff (as is Pediasure) stuffed full of artificial
flavourings.

When I make bread, a little oil is added, although would prefer true
French-type white bread. Home-made custard-base ice cream and various
milk puddings (bread, rice, semolina etc) go down well. We make
gelatines which at least contain some protein to make up for the
artificial colours and flavours. Couldn't convince her to eat flavoured
Knox gelatine

Now working on trying to make various cakes/pastries more nutritious!
Carrot and courgette/zucchini cake works well, as do fruit pastries.
