FabSwingers.com forum: Autumn food

By (user no longer on site) OP

So seeing as how we are going to be working our way into autumn soon, does anyone have any meals or desserts they love to bring out as the nights draw longer, wetter and colder.

For me it is pumpkin and squash soup, and good old bangers and mash with onion gravy and peas.

ah I think it's just cause I have recipe books from both sides of my family so I like to bring certain things out at certain points of the year. Nostalgia for the seasons I guess.

I always forget Pieminister are all over the place now. The original branch in Stoke's Croft is still a favourite eating establishment. Especially now they do lighter pies.

I love and cook an old recipe called November Casserole. Basically it's liver, kidney, gammon, sausage, onion and carrots in thick unctuous grave made from browning meat then deglazing pan with red wine....worth having to live through an english winter alone.

About halfway...I do it in a slow cooker..apart from the liquid base..bring that to the boil in a pan before adding..the mushrooms go in near the end. Sometimes add conchigli pasta just before I switch it off..
