To ask for your favourite wintery food/drink?

[SneakyGremlins]

Need some ideas for food and drink I can use to warm up when it's cold outside!

Hot ribena (full sugar) and home made leek and potato soup. Or a nice jacket potato, scoop the filling out and mix with cheese and bacon and put back in for ten mins. Lush.

I'm sure the local shops only have sugar free Ribena now

Stovies.

Sourdough toasts slathered in ricotta and topped with red onions (caramelised in apple cider vinegar and maple syrup) and roasted butternut squash.

A mug of Bovril for me 🙂

A hot mince pie with cream.

Winter Spice Ribena, served hot.
Sainsbury’s bakery mince pies.
Chicken & veg pie, roasties & lashings of gravy.

Cake and custard. Yum!

Mulled apple juice! We've just started having it again.

Apple juice, orange peel, lemon peel, honey, a cinnamon stick - bung it all in a pan and heat. Strain and serve.

Oven baked jacket potatoes..... oozing with melted brie and cranberry sauce, or pesto and mozzarella pearls... and huge pots of home made soup.

A roasting hot, creamy, mushroom soup.

Or cheese with a variety of chutneys and crackers drools

I’m on Slimming world so both are out of the fucking question

• advocaat
• mash potatoes
• ginger bread latte

Allchange I'm going to enjoy them on your behalf.

Thanks for all the suggestions, these are great!

Mulled wine

Spiced hot milk. Whisk it up with a few drops of vanilla essence, and pinches of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Add sugar or honey or sweeteners if you want to, but it tastes great without them.

Goulash with mash or beef stew with dumplings are really warming
So is home made apple crumble and custard or sticky toffee pudding and sauce.

Readybrek in the mornings

Lentil soup is another favourite
