Winter Food

[Snarfer]

Packed with the cold so my wife made me homemade chicken and rice soup, it is the best ever and really good wholesome grub to have on these cold winter nights.
What are everybody elses winter food comforts??????

I love chicken and rice soup with bread like doorsteps smothered in butter, and mince and mashed tatties with loads of butter in the tatties and some white pudding on the side mmmmm I really should be the size of a bus :lol:

[Ash]

Ah unicorn..one of life's BIG questions there!

To butter and dunk or simply dunk....I am a no butter dunker!:lol:

(try saying that after a few drinks!)

[unicorn]

oh no butter and dunk, I tend to need a bib for that though :lol:

[Dadie]

depends on the soup chicken and rice = butter and dunk where as kidney soup is just dunk

[unicorn]

never heard of kidney soup, hmmm not sure if I like that idea

[Ash]

never heard of kidney soup, hmmm not sure if I like that idea

[catnip]

Aye slurp the bree off the soup and put all the veg onto a slice of buttered bread, then another slice over that, squeeze to get remaining bree out and eat, over your plate like!!!!!!

[Dadie]

its nicer than it sounds my mum makes it i think the kidneys are cooked in brandy with onions and grated carrot i have not made it myself as i keep forgetting to ask for the recipe (its a thin soup)

[unicorn]

[karia]

Kidney Soup Yuk! Brings back the vivid memory of a school cookery lesson, 12 girls all making it ~ the kitchen smelt just like a public lav http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/29/29_3_13.gif (http://forum.caithness.org/go.php?url=http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYAXGB) put me off kidney for life!
Remember Heinz used to make it too. (maybe they still do)

Comfort food for me is simple Mince and Tatties, Tattie or Lentil soup and Anne x now you have reminded me Sausage stovies

[Sandra_B]

Lately I've been craving soups, leek and potato, scoth broth and good old tattie soup.

[Highland Laddie]

A bowl of mince soup with clapshot to follow.

[helenwyler]

Proper Irish stew with pearl barley and dumplings, or liver, onion gravy, potato and swede mash and peas:cool:.

ewww, no Helen, not liver, no, no, no! :eek:

I like almost all soups and casseroles -chicken & rice soup is a comforting one dating from my childhood but leek & tattie's probably my favourite.

I do love stovies, yum! Recently I've been making a fish version -smoked haddock stovies - very tasty. :D

[helenwyler]

ewww, no Helen, not liver, no, no, no! :eek:



Yes, yes, yes Angela!!!;) You must have had some horrid strong stuff maybe?...it's very delicate if you get the right kind. Horses for courses though!

Is that not really Cullen Skink Angela? Something I have not tried for many years now
I asked Mrs G, what she would consider winter comfort food, her reply "Ruddikin Tripe and onions"...........:eek:

No, golach, Cullen Skink's a soup -this is a really substantial main course.
Tripe....oh dear no...that's even worse than liver!! :roll:

[Snarfer]

Fish Soup and then rice'n'raisin for pudding

[karia]

Horses for courses though!

Hi Helen,

Neigh neigh!

I think I'll skip the horse course and go straight for the cheese board!:lol:

[miranda]

Pasta...loads of pasta!:)

[helenwyler]

Hi Helen,

Neigh neigh!

I was just thinking it should really be courses for horses, given this is a food thread:eek:.

[Sporran]

Soups, stews, mince an' tatties are the fave winter comfort foods in this household.

Right at this very moment, I have a pot of Scotch Broth simmering away on the stove, in fact! :)

[ciderally]

whatever anyone else makes...i love it

[Big Jean]

Mince and tatties will do nicely, and for a second choice, gnocchi with bacon and leeks, parmesan cheese sprinkled on top .

Now I'm hungry, and not having either tonight . Hmmm

[Margaret M.]

Sporran, are you surprised that mince and tatties is not a popular dish over here? Everyone I have fixed it for, loves it. If I'm going to eat it, I will fix it with Morningstar crumblies and the meat eaters still love it.

I love soups -- I made some today and watched the snow fizzle out and disappear.

[golach]

Hi Helen,

Nothing wrong with a bit of horse flesh, we at my age had to eat it during WW2, and today in France it is considered a delicacy :eek:

[Anne x]

How ghastly I got it served in Belguim and very quickly threw up

[golach]

got served a beautiful meal once in a place called Balikpapan in Indonesia, like a fool I enjoyed it so much I asked what it was........It was monkey........I threw up right away:(

[Anne x]
