I agree that is about impossible… same as naming your favorite musician , it simply depends on the atmosphere and the state of mind at that particular moment.
I will always be fond of a nice thick steak grilled medium rare,baked potato , and a slice of Texas toast and a salad of course!
Of course there are times I prefer a grilled cheese sandwich with a bowl of tomato soup or a nice warm bowl of gumbo served over some rice.

Googled and now hungry 
This would probably be the UK version:
As for favourite winter meal…crikey! I can narrow it down to a bowl of Scouse or Irish Stew along with crusty bread and butter for the really cold days. For luxury I’d say Lobster Thermidore. Or for general purposes anything with melted cheese in! In fact…too many choices cos I’m a right foodie/home cooker lol

Probably the same for most folks but I consider Texas toast to be a thick slice of sourdough bread toasted with garlic butter and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.
I have used plain white bread on many occasions though!

MMM…Weatehr will be too cold for Lobster as will be in a ski resort…But i like the stew idea and BoyHowdy’s steak…
I am now thinking hot chicken liver pate crostini to start and then a rib of beef with beef jus, truffle mash, cumin carrots, and spinach… Easy, quick cook, as will have friends over.

We were planning on doing chili this evening and baked potatoes (probably with the chili on top… and cheese). But starting to get second thoughts after seeing someone mention gumbo, which I haven’t made in 3 or 4 months.

no… but I have heard of people adding chocolate.
The coke is nice as it gives it a choco lime kind of hit
