The father will most likely not have an appetite due to the initial depression that sets in, but if I had to guess, I'd say he would probably appreciate eating one of the meals that he and his 14 year old would often share (almost in honor of the child, as to show that they continue to live on in his heart and mind).

Mod, please delete your own thread.

Something that goes well with a good wine.  Trust me, he's going to want a drink.

 I have no idea what that would be ...  but, I will be taking him home cooked food periodically ...

Quite the opposite.....why would he want something to remind him of something he just lost.

Mac N Cheese........easy to make, quick to serve, and lots of calories which he'll need as he's not going to be eating much due to the stress.

[King Shizzo]

He will only eat sparingly at this point. Anything to keep him moving. He wont care what it is.

Soup,easy to eat. Make it nutritious.
Poor guy,I feel for him.

Because it is probably one of the few things that can still keep their memory alive.

When I was a young man (late teens), my father and I used to go to Washington Square Park (in New York City) to play chess with random NYU students, local Russians and even bums). Even after his death, I would often go to play chess with random strangers. Although, he was gone at that point, I would often feel as if he was still there over my shoulder, leaning in and whispering, "That was a stupid move you fool".

The memory of him is always amplified while playing there or even by walking past that park.

Keep their memory alive, they will forever be a staple of your life regardless of their passing.

Lasagna.  Make it in a large pan and he can eat it for days.

That is kinda true, I eat a lot more carb junk when down. Especially if you take a break from working out and shit. Good homemade chicken and noodles, or some nicely smoke ribs would be aight.

This. My mom brings me stuff like this frozen in a large aluminum pan with baking instructions. I just throw them in my freezer and throw it in the oven when ready.

Remind him? that's all that dominates his mind it's not like he forgot and this will ' remind him '

Pork tenderloin or reg pork loin w a bit of bbq sauce in a crockpot.

4-5 hours on high or about 8 on low.   

After it's cooked drain the liquid and put in bbq sauce and mix it up.   Deliver the crockpot w a bag of nice rolls so they can make sammiches.  Super easy for the recipients to deal with .

14 years old  . I assume this is a terrible loss for you as well.  Condolences princess

If it's recent the person may be pretty normal headed... it takes time until it sinks in and the real grief starts.

All differences are squashed with threads like these. We are all a Getbig family. Princess L, I am sorry for this guy, and for you.

[Krankenstein]

I don't think necessarily in terms of a meal...but whatever comfort food he likes.  You obviously know this person well enough to do something like this for them so you should know what he likes.  I am torn on the "what she used to eat" thing because you don't know if he liked it too.  If nothing else, maybe get him out of his house and to yours (non sexual connotation here) and make him the meal.  Sit there and finish cooking.  Sometimes getting someone out of their environment that reminds them of their loved one is best.
