Hi Foodies! Starting today, I’ll be posting a food-related poll every Monday. Here’s the first one. Take a little break from all the inauguration coverage and vote.

If you select “other,” make sure to leave a comment about what you like to eat during the long Vermont winters.

This article appears in Jan 14-20, 2009.

Former contributor Suzanne Podhaizer is an award-winning food writer (and the first Seven Days food editor) as well as a chef, farmer, and food-systems consultant. She has given talks at the Stone Barns Center for Agriculture's "Poultry School" and its flagship "Young Farmers' Conference." She can slaughter a goose, butcher a pig, make ramen from scratch, and cook a scallop perfectly.

  1. The Bearded Frog is serving a delicious duck leg confit with roasted root vegetable salad and lentil puree right now. I had it a few weeks ago – perfect winter entree!

  4. Other: Cali Syrah sticks to the ribs like a stew – a nice, meaty wine when the temp can’t seem to break the high teens.

  5. Call me crazy, but I still turn to “Gourmet Magazine’s Best Tasting Hot Dog in the Whole United States (Vienna Beef)…I just add the Chili with warm Sauerkraut!! That combination brings me back to the days of when Mom made Halupki (beef, rice, onions and spices wrapped in cabbage cooked in tomato sauce) Delicious…I miss Mom!!

  6. Hi Haik. If you click on the "comment" link at the bottom of the poll, it brings you to a page which has that information.
    I only know because somebody told me…it's definitely not intuitive!

  9. I voted for the squash bisque, but two of my favorite cold weather dishes are a nice colcannon or homemade macaroni and cheese. Mmmm… I’m going to pick up some cabbage and potatoes at the grocery store today. Thanks Suzanne!
