As the chill of winter sets in, there is nothing like the comfort of foods that warms the soul, even though everyone has different views on what foods are most suited for winter weather. Student Trent Heidbrink said he thought “the most suited food for winter is steak.” Trent was also asked what his top three favorite foods for winter were and he replied with “steak, pasta, and ice cream.” Other students were asked what their opinion on it was and student Elizabeth Timmons replied with “warm foods such as soups are most suited for winter.” Liz also said her family makes chicken and dumplings and chili and other soups during the winter weather. Mrs. Murphy, the OHS High School librarian stated that she believed chili is the food best suited for winter. Chili is also Mrs. Murphy’s comfort food, and she loves to make it all year long. Mrs. Murphy said her family makes taco soup, chicken enchilada soup, and baked bread during the winter weather. Personally, I feel soups are most suited, but I also agree with Trent Heidbrink about steak being a winter food. My family would make chili and chicken and dumplings during the winter season. Overall, with all of the information I have gathered, the most popular winter food was soups, the majority of the reason being that it’s easy to make and it makes you warm. I agree that soups hit different in the winter, and I think chicken and dumplings are the ultimate best in the winter season.
