fried food for 94 year old MIL

fancythat

The other day I came across foods that were used in war rationing times.
If you get really stuck, you could google those.

Poor lady!
Spam, snook, Woolton Pie?

If she loves her frying pan and has reached the ripe old age of 94, why deprive her of the pleasure?
Fried does not necessarily equate to swimming in fat and with all respect Wiltshire Farm foods would be providing just what she seems to object to.

Exactly - there's nothing wrong with fat nor a frying pan!

NotSpaghetti. Are those cook meals for the microwave or oven How big are they ? my mum will only eat very small portions. M & S do small ready meals but she says their tasteless. I know she shouldn’t but she puts a ton of salt on everything. I’m really stuck too.

My 99 year old mother-in-law likes www.cookfood.net/ ready meals (frozen)

I know they do some straightforward ones and are quite close to home cooked meals as made in smaller batches. Also do small portions ideal for children-sized appetites.

She likes smoked salmon (the mild one) and sardines/pilchards on toast. She likes few prawns with sandwiches and salads and for reasons of "safety" buys them frozen already cooked.

She likes "old fashioned" Naked ham and their sausages occasionally.

Cauliflower and or brocoli with macaroni cheese.

She likes cheese and biscuits for a snack.

Omelette, poached fish etc. She buys small ready prepared packs of vegetables sometimes if she's feeling "lazy" but otherwise she will scrub a potato and so on.

Good luck.

Casdon is right about M n S foods being popular - friend at the gym takes her very elderly relative for a weekly trip to choose his own.

Wiltshire Farm foods do seem to supply the traditional meals where things are properly separated etc etc

Absolutely!
A little of what you fancy does you good (apparently) - particularly at 94.

My Dad swore by Wiltshire farm foods too Wyllow

Marks and Spencer do individual portions of ready meals, my parents are particularly fond of their liver and onions.

Sausages and bacon, but grilled instead of fried, possibly?
And fish, grilled. Or chops. Still recognisable, but healthier.
Does she still enjoy a roast dinner, or a shepherds pie, etc.?

Hi threads. I'd suggest, if she is prepared to use a microwave, she goes down the route of Wiltshire Farm Foods or similar, as they do good ranges of traditional and nutritious conventional meals.
MiL swore she would never use a microwave now it is her best friend. But careers can easily use it too, and it means they have a little more time to spend with your mum with a cuppa T then cooking from scratch.
(You can poach chicken and salmon and most vegetables in a microwave too - I do).

Salmon fillets, little lamb cutlets, sausages(!) fish cakes, any fish, really-sea bass etc - chicken breasts, (maybe poached ) Does she eat liver? Lambs liver and onions, rissoles, strips of chicken fillet - perhaps served with an optional sauce.
I can sympathise. Many many years ago I cooked for a Directors’ Dining Room in the City and was told from the outset by the butler (!) that they (men, of course) did not like what they called “slurpers” ie anything like a casserole, or cooked in a sauce. Bang went my plans for Coq au Vin on the first day!

My parents only liked identifiable English food so it was all pork chops, sausages, chicken but only roasted, cod preferably in breadcrumbs (in the oven) and Dad loved a juicy steak. Not sure everyone's teeth would be up to that. Sorry I'm not much help.
