Got lots of dietary questions from those of you out there who are culinarily inclined and I will do my utmost here to provide guidance:
The hospital feeds him regular menu items - he gets to choose from starters, "entrees" (no kidding, that's what it says on the menu), deserts and so forth. The only dietary restrictions seem to be that the meal is reasonably well balanced, low in processed sugar. High in protein, good carbs. Remember the food pyramid! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:USDA_Food_Pyramid.gif
Ideas from the UK cancer research site (spice it up though, we won the war because our soldiers would eat the cooking!) http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/default.asp?page=17012
And from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_diet
And my ideas:
Yogurt - I've seen him eat it over the weekend, he likes it.
Bananas - He's told me in the past that bananas are a very efficient fruit
Eggs - The feed him eggs in the hospital.
Beans and Greens - Wegmans sells them pre-made, damn good. Just watch out a couple of hours afterward...
Meatloaf
Quiche - Patty was going to bring him some tonight, and he does love his quiche (even though real men don't eat it)
Pasta - any shape will do (they have spaghetti on le menu du Strong)
Post yours as comments!

Cousin Rick

Hey, if you want to keep the sugars down stay away ffrom yogurt. It is loaded with the stuff. The low sugar ones have asperetame and that if no bueno either.
Bananas also rank high on the sugar scale, although it is not added sugar it has a reativly high on the glycemic index.
Stay with the quiche. how about turkey tacos with a soft tortilla and eggs. Lay low on the hot sauce.
He probably would like a protein shake.
how about a lentil soup, that is really good stuff and filling in small doses. It also has a high fiber aspect that many really enjoy.
Just some thoughts.

Maybe you could meet with the hospital dietitian for suggestions that Walt would like. She should be able to suggest high-calorie & good tasting food. (of course, she does work for the same hospital that provides the stuff he already hates) Still, it's worth a try.
Here are some websites I found with soft, high-calorie food ideas:
