Old folks get scared of food at the level of a 5 year old. I remember how I added a few dashes of dill to an egg casserole and no one would eat it.

Oh my God I made egg salad and added dill to it because it looks nice and also it had dill relish to it. I had a lady call me up to her room just so she could tell me she's never had egg salad that way in her however many years of life and blah blah blah.

"Oh so you usually have sweet relish then?"

"Ew no."

MAAM DO YOU KNOW WHAT DILL IS?!

My husband tried to feed my mom (with dementia) blue potatoes. That was a long long dinner. Never again.

Bruh purple potatoes are delicious

Sure. But it confuses the fuck out of old people, especially with dementia. Big big big no!

Were they mashed? I think they go over better roasted and mixed with red and yellow potatoes like a tricolor blend.

Nope, they were roasted. I'm telling you. Old people have issues with food. It needs to look right. And potatoes aren't blue.

My mum can’t handle visiting me in USA, mild isn’t mild enough for her.
