I have several favorites; New England clam and shrimp chowder made from a Colonial recipe; Cajun bean soup; gumbo with chicken, shrimp, and Cajun sausage; home made chili. All are good and make the tummy warm on a cold winters day. :)

Favourite winter food: stodgy corned beef hash. Impossible to eat in Summer - due to its high heat output and immense stickiness - this savoury delight has been known to prevent hypothermia, heal frostbite and revive the dead.

Beer Brats. Classic.

Very good especially if they are cooked over a charcoal grill, so they are more of a summer food for me.

Hot cocoa. Might not be considered food, but it's what keeps me alive!

Beer and weatabix. Of course, that does for those poverty-stricken summer months as well.

If I actually was able to limit my intake of beer I would eat shepherds pie. Mmmm, full of potato goodness.

Home-made stew, with dumplings
Home-made steak and kidney pudding
Bubble and sqeak

Not necessarily all together on the same plate.

Although, those last two .........

Just about anything that can be made in a crockpot. Of course, my favorite warm weather food is anything that can be cooked on a grill.

But what I really like when the weather is cold enough is that coconut-chicken soup that you can get from Thai restaurants. But only if they will make it spicy enough. Between that and some fried rice, I've got a nice dinner to take home.

A good lamb or chicken madras with plenty of basmati rice.

Then again, I love that food all year long, but most especially on winter. I'm just addicted to Indian food.

Soup: chicken noodle, beef barley, vegetable barley, alphabet,...nothing seafood, bean, mushroom or unapproved vegetables. I do like broccoli in soup though. :)

Don't know why, but I eat lots of popcorn in the winter. I guess it's a thing to eat in the dark and there's lots of dark in the winter.

Lessee...Thanksgiving themed meals. Mmm.
Chili. Oh gods, yes.
Does eggnog count? I say it counts. So, eggnog.
I'm not sure what else I associate with winter, food-wise.

As long as the eggnog contains brandy it counts as a winter food. :D

From back home in the US - chili, soups, stews, game birds (geese and pheasant being most especial favorites), and venison.

And from over here in Japan - nabe ("hot pot") - especially kimchi nabe and the special nabe I once had that was wild veggies and mushrooms with smoked wild goose.

And to drink - hot chocolate, spiked hot chocolate, the beautiful green chili and cinnamon hot chocolate I recieved from the parents last Xmas (particularly when spiked with a nice dolop of brandy), eggnog, mulled wine or cider (but surprisingly not hard cider), hot toddy, hot buttered rum, hot run cow, warmed brandy, and Cognac.

Hot soups, stews, and chowders. I'm also a big lover of pot pies when the weather turns cold. For drinks I love hot chocolate, made from coco, not instant (actually, my fav is Honey Hot Chocolate for Very Blustery Days), and tea.

Japanese winter foods I've come to love include man (steamed buns with some kind of filling), sukiyaki, mochi (rice cakes), mikan (mandarin oranges), and fugu (the blow fish that if made wrong kills you).

And nabe is good too. Love the nabe. ;)

Let's see...

I'd have to say soup is major, especially soup from bones. That's a big theme in my family. My mom makes turkey soup from Thanksgiving leftover bones and meat. She makes split pea soup from hambones, and my dad make down home Louisiana gumbo from hambones too. He's from New Orleans, they make the best gumbo. If anyone is ever there, have some, just don't ask what's in it. I've seen relatives bat at the soup pot with a wooden spoon and yell "GET BACK IN THERE!" My friend's mom makes awesome squash soup. After soup, I'd go with eggnog. Can't get enough of that. Pretty much anything warm I guess is the pattern.

They're saffron buns and are eaten during December for Lucia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lucy#In_Sweden) and Christmas. I love them with Glögg/Glühwein/mulled wine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gl%C3%B6gg).

Yum!

Chowder with chunks of smoked fish. Caribou and barley stew with bannock. Cream soups...broccoli or spinach quiches. Coq au vin. Drinking port. I really get into eating during winter.

In winter, even if its not a real winter by world standards, I like anything homemade: Roasts, soup, pies, hot drinks, its all good. Except for fish, fish is a summer food.

Linsen mit Speck und Spaetzle. (Lentils with bacon and small dumplings)
Rindfleisch mit Gren und rohe Kloesse (Beef with horseradish sauce and potatoe dumplings. Made from raw potatoes, not from cooked ones, it's a world of difference)

But you can't buy Spaetzle here, and making them is such a mess, so I'll give it a miss this year.
And the second dish is only good if made by my grandmother, so that'll have to wait till next year, too.

It's probably not a "winter time food" but my grandma used to make it only for Christmas so I count it as one

You need this as part of a healthy, high fiber diet year round- dont limit it to the winter...

Unless of course, it tends to be more neatly trimmed during the warmer months.
