Autumnal dinners

Love a lot of stuff on this thread already, oxtail and beef cheeks being my favourite stews.
Mussels are now back in peak season and a big bowl of moules mariniere with crusty bread is a perfect warming lunch.
Mushrooms also good at this time of year. Quite like roasting chicken thighs on a bed of wild mushrooms and whole garlic cloves. Squish the cooked garlic in to the sauce at the end and eat the chicken & mushrooms, mopping up the garlicky juice with flatbreads.

In the Autumn I mostly like to eat a collection of variously coloured leaves from my local park or woodland. If you are tempted to try this and you can't wait to dive into your nearest leaf-pile, please be very careful not to disturb any hibernating hedgehogs. If you would like to make this dish for a special occasion, try adding a little Choritthhho, or serve it on an old roof slate.

Thanks for that insight. I was really looking forward to them, at my brother in laws wedding, but although the meat tasted delicious, the consistency of the dish, was to me, unpalatable. Maybe I should give it another try!

Beef cheeks are bloody lovely. Has to be with mash though as I'm not a big stew person.

Tonight I baked some potatoes, cut them in half, scooped out the potato, mashed it with salt, pepper, milk, butter and grated cheddar, popped the mash back in the skins and put some grated cheddar on the top before returning to the oven for the cheese to bubble and melt. A bratwurst and peas on the side with a glass of Cab Sav. Simple but nice.
Try the same but with some wholegrain mustard too. Delicious.

I am into cooking home made Autumn/Winter puddings at the moment trying different recipies from books/internet.
So far the best one has been Jam Roly Poly, followed by Spotted Dick and Apple and Blackberry pies and crumbles all served with home made custard.
I was given a large bottle of Sauternes pudding wine a while back, which i am very much into as well.
20 degrees at the moment and 16 at night so i may have to postpone my culinary experiments for a month or so.

Not a pudding fan but you have named most of my favorites, Spotted dick,crumbles,pies and home made custard. Shame you never mentioned the ultimate pudding - Sticky toffee pudding.
Hot puddings all the way
We tried ASDA's apple pie in shortcrust pastry this evening, with custard. It was lovely and gone in a flash.
The main course was a delicious homemade chilli con carne, served with white rice.

cottage and not as good
Canham’s pies, cakes and baguettes are immense (huge and delicious). So fatty, I weighed more when I used to buy from there.
I was only joking. Love a good hachís parmentier.
