not long now until the autumn is here (although you'd be forgiven for thinking it was autumn now with this weather ) i was just wondering what type of dinners/teas you cook when the weather does turn cold? is it all roast dinners, pie and mash etc? does anyone still eat salads?

It is such a good excuse to eat big hearty meals.

I tend tend to eat much salad in the winter. Just a bit in my sarnies really.

I also tend to cook more stodgy dinners like shephards pie, beef stew, chicken casserole etc ..... with lots of mashed potatoes and green beans.

Oh, and i also cook a roast EVERY weekend. I dont in the summer months as we have more BBQ's. But as soon as it gets cooler, i like a roast dinner on a sunday with all the trimmings. Then the left over meat gets turned into a dinner for monday evening.

The beauty of winter, big coats and big boots. Then come spring, go back to salad and water.

My wife is from N.Ireland and she makes Ulster Stew in the Winter. I thought Ulster Stew was the same type of thing as Irish Stew, but she tells me in Ulster they use beef instead of lamb, and they also use Worcester sauce instead of alchohol (usually guinness). She also adds barley to her Ulster stew, that's a bit Scottish, but tastes nice.

Made a lovely steak pie the other day served with root mash [normal spuds, sweet potato and parsnip on this occasion] and broccoli. You cant beat a pie for wintery (or British summer) weather

Beef stew and dumplings, with mashed potato.

Only occasionally though, otherwise I'd end up looking like a dumpling if I had it too often!
