You should explore what is your responsibility as well. It's to feed him food in a form that he can safely swallow. There is really no such thing as mechanical food. They prepare food in the kitchen like any other establishment for all guests. It's that your husband needs an additional stage of preparation to bring each food item into a form he can handle. He may not like the food in its original non-puree form since it is bland and has no condiments added. When you puree your home-prepared food, you can add a sauce or gravy that will make the food more creamy and tasty.

He may be in a stage of swallowing difficulty where he can handle normal food especially if it's accompanied by something sweet. That may eventually stop working as it did in our case and you will have to turn to puree food strictly. You need to prepare for that eventuality.

Mechanical soft food means that it is partially blenderized, so as not to be totally puree. It has a little substance to it; I believe it can be compared to "junior meats" in the baby food section of the store.
