There is a nip in the air, meaning Autumn is fast approaching, with Winter not too far behind. This puts me in mind of those wonderful foods that simply make one feel "good" on cool/cold days.

Usually these are something from our childhood, our mothers would whip up either as a treat, or for a meal.

A few of my favourites are:

Rice Pudding
Bread Pudding (served warm with cream)
Apple Crisp (nothing makes house smell as good when cooking)
Peach Cobbler
Chicken Soup (with saltine biscuts)
Split Pea Soup (ditto)
Grilled Cheese with Tomato
Schnitzel with Chips (French Fries)
 
Of course Colemans English Mustard is the only kind to use on Bangers & Mash.

Here's my list:

Apples Baked in Custard and covered with Merengue.
Pumpkin Pie
Pot Roast with Roasted Potatoes and Carrots
Rice Pudding
Rib Eye Steak on the grill with Bearnaise Sauce and Baked
Potato and Brussel Sprouts.
Kung Pao Chicken, traditional Chinese hot w/Sesame Oil
A good English Christmas Pudding
Potato Pancakes
Hot Spotted Dick with Custard
Pork Loin Roast with Chateau Bread Dumplings and Sauerkraut with Caraway seeds.
 
Good thread Launderess!

My favorites are:

Homemade soups of all varieties.

chiken soup
Vegetable beef soup
split pea and bean soups
Beef and chicken stews.

I also like hot cocoa this time of year,...it just feels homey when it starts getting cold and yes you are right about the kind of good feeling you get this time of year. I love the fall and cooler weather...summer is just too hot for me anymore.
 
oh Launderess!!!!!

Where do I start?????

Imagine a pile of creamy mashed potato with english butter through it, add 3 tasty Lincolnshire sausages (I dont care much for cumberland or plain pork) and some onion gravy.

Then the same mash with fried lambs liver and onions in the gravy

Pea and Ham soup

Bananas and Birds Custard! lol

Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, Roastie potatoes, carrots broccoli and Hot Horseradish sauce mmmmm! dont forget the gravy!

Golden syrup steamed sponge and Birds custard

Warm Bakewell Tart and thick cream

Rice pudding with Nutneg, THE SKIN IS MINE!!!!!!

I love to have a good beef stew with loads of vegetables and Herb Dumplings in the slow cooker for when I get back home after taking the dog out for a long walk in the cold.

feel all cold now thnking of the coming winter here, bit chilly this morning.I put on thick jumper, made a coffee and am just about to snuggle up with myself in the armchair. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

cat optional if it decides to wake up lol.

Hi Nick...it is 4 a.m. here and i just got off work a little while ago. This is my usual routine. The cooler weather just puts me in better spirits.

Nick i just love slow cooked foods like stews which are the quintessentisl autmn/winter foods here in the Northeast part of the US as well as so many other places.

As a matter of fact it will be on the cool side here for a couple of days, and i will definitely be making some of those soups and stews..( mouth watering profusely LOL ).
 
oh yeah baby yeah lol

good ol bangers and mash. Maybe some english mustard too if you can handle it. I know what your american mustard is like. Lol. american mustard is what the wee bairns (children) eat over here.
 
Some of my favorites are:

- Chicken soup with miniature meatballs, escarole and rice

- Any kind of chili or stew

- Lasagne or some kind of baked pasta dish

- Meatloaf

- Roast pork loin and any kind of root vegetables

- Apple desserts - tarts, pies, etc...
 
Absolutely Angus...pasta and more pasta.. LOL.

I especially like to make a big pot of gravy...( tomato sauce) with meatballs, sweet and hot sausages and you can't forget the pork neckbones...no sir, that is some good eating there.

Pies of mainly Apple and pumpkin i love to bake also. I will finally be able to start using the regular oven now instead of the toaster oven..( though that little Kenmore can get an 8 lb. chicken in it...great little oven)

I just have to really take the time here and learn how to post pics with my computer...i know it isn't hard,..but i just have to do it soon. Lots of goodies to show. LOL.
 


If you are speaking of yellow mustard or what we generally call hot dog mustard...then yes it is pretty...well Blah! LOL.

I generally use Guldens mustard which is spicy and is far better then that other crap that looks like Diahrrea. LOL
 
Very interesting thread, mine would be
Chicken soup
chili
apple crisp
beef stew
pumpkin bars with cream chesse frosting
 
Mom was from Massachussetts so some of my favorite comfort foods might seem strange to many people here in Texas.

Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and mashed potatoes - lots of gravy.

New England clam chowder

Real homemade hot chocolate

Chili - what Texan doesn't like chili (Even for breakfast on a really nippy morning)?

Soup and stew, of coarse.

And definitely a good Southern breakfast: eggs: scrambled, fried or omelette; bacon or sausage; hashbrowns; biscuits; breakfast steak (yes, two meats); and tons of cream gravy over everything.
 
Chili con Carne
Pot Roast
Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Tuna Noodle Casserole
Beef stew made with cheap beer (My mom's recipe, which I sure she got off of a box of something)
Leg of Lamb with roasted root vegetables
Baked Butternut Squash with Sausage
Pineapple upsidedown cake from the Betty Crocker box recipe
Chicken and Dumplings
 
Almost anything Potato

Especially, baked, (in an oven, not a microwave!), or mashed. Or the warm German potato salad. In addition to the bacon, sometimes I will add slices of cooked Kielbasa.

Oxydolfan mentioned Onion Soup. I like to top mine with a cheese blend...Parmesan (or Romano) and Monterey Jack. Parmesan for sharpness, Monterey for melting.

There's a chili recipe in the '97 Joy of Cooking called "Ohio Farmhouse Chili" or something like that, and I am going to try it next week. It calls for bulk (roll) sausage instead of ground beef. I'll let you know.

Chili isn't chili without cornbread, and I like mine more Southern, which means without sugar, or at the most a very little sugar. Most cornbread mixes are too sweet.

A pot roast goes well in the cooler weather, and you excellent people have posted some good variations.

Apple Crisp (crumble) is marvellous. I like to make the topping with melted real butter, brown sugar, some flour, and raw oatmeal, combine well, and scatter over the sliced apples.

Tonight for supper here in N. Central WI it is homemade chicken dumpling soup with warm buttered french bread. It is supposed to get down to 38 degrees here this evening. Perfect soup weather!
 
Chili
Chili Mac
Frito Pie
Vegetable, beef & barley soup
anything pasta with cheese
baked pasta
meat loaf
stuffing (cajun style)
rise
home made pudding that's still warm

Lawrence, bulk sausage makes ANYTHIG taste even better that can be substituted for ground meat
