I'm thinking Bob can have anything he wants. When my mom was diagnosed with
plaque clots in her carotid artery which might have gone to her brain and
caused a stroke (thankfully didn't) they put her on a "diet" which was
mostly bland boiled chicken and plain vegetables. And she said to me,
"Dammit, I'll eat any damn thing that I please. I'm not going to die eating
boring food!" Well, she's still with us as lively as ever at age 82.
She-crab soup? They said no, too fatty! She said, "You betcha! Give me a
bowl of that!" Methinks Bob should enjoy whatever he likes.
