The Quintessential English Winter Feast

[Axe]

As we move on in to dark evenings and brisk weather, it made start to think of the hearty dinners we are soon to be making at home. We love a good beef and ale caserole with plenty of dumplings. Whats your favourite english winter dish.

Can't beat Shepherds Pie followed by a nice crumble & custard.

Can't disagree about the cassarole , although as it's also the game season using something different than Beef, a nice bit of venison or even Goose breast chunks is just as nice and replace the ale with Red wine and a bit of red current jelly mixed in.

noggin of fresh bread that stew pot of mine holds 7 litres so it keeps going for

8 pints (lightweight nowadays) follows buy a big greasy kebab lathered with chili or chip cob and gravy

[jimdfish]

dumplings and stew are winter food?

crikey, better tell her then. all year round grubbage for the fish.

winter equals mince and tatties served in hollowed out crusty cob followed by cored apples with raisins and cinnamon and custard

its like eating armadillos with angels breast for pudding

Quintessential English - lamb madras ?

 

I'm not a great one for stews and casseroles. A nice steak and ale or game pie for me at this time of year

[sussex lad]

Lovely!!!!!!!!!!!

[paul65]

Steak and kidney pudding with mash and plenty of gravy.

Has to be roast goose..........starts at Michaelmas Day and transcends the turkey for Christmas.

[Evil Elvis]

Has to be chicken vindaloo...........

 

 

Yes, I've got to say I like a good ring burner

[malkiserow]

for me....

 

Pan fried game bird breast with a red wine Jus (don't know how to spell reduced wine)

 

anyway ..... to continue.... with a sauce mixture of sweet chestnuts/dry cured ham/fine chopped sprouts/cream/black pepper

 

tasting is believing !!!! :yp:

[J@mes]

steak and ale pie! no veg, just the pie

[Axe]

Pan fried game bird breast with a red wine Jou (don't know how to spell reduced wine)

 

Or Jus it would seem. Sounds very nice though and would go well with SL's Chestnuts. Steady Munger!

 

I'm surprised noone has mentioned a lamb hot pot or a slow cooked lamb shank. I shouldnt talk about this before lunch, its making me hungry.

It has to be something that can be left on a simmer.

At the risk of sounding a bit dreamy,for me the best part of this time of year is good long walk on a cold dry and hopefully sunny day.

Then getting home for hearty meal and maybe even sparking up the open fire, a couple of glasses of red and I will be fast asleep in minutes

Visions of an old pipe, cardigan and slippers comes to mind here.
