This can be a vegetable (Squash, for example), or a sweet treat. It can be from your country or from another.
What is a food item that is only available this time of year that you look forward to?
I am sure you are expecting me to say pumpkin spice. Yes, while that may be true, I do like more than just pumpkin spice.
Apple Cider is a good example. Candy Canes is another.
However, and while I can get this in bar form throughout the year (via online), I can only get this in local stores during this time of year....
Terry's Chocolate Orange. Yes, we have orange chocolate throughout the year but not this brand. You may be able to buy this brand at specialty candy stores but it's expensive. I LOVE the chocolate orange.
Another?
Malteasers. yes, we have whoppers over here which are comparable, but I like malteasers.
So, what is a food you love that you can only get this time of year?

@ScribbledAdNauseum it is a spicy cinnamon flavoured hard candy shell filled with semi sweet chocolate. They are hand pulled.

@LadyDuck Winter is meant for splurging more and eating a little more.

I think, in different countries, we have different cuisines and some names of dishes can be not familiar to others.

Yes, I agree. That shouldn't stop anyone from discussing them, though.

I love pumpkin pie too. Already had a low sugar pumpkin pie that was delicious. Have thought about making one but I want to try to make a pumpkin bread instead.

Well, I used apple cider as an example so I'd say it counts as a food. I bought some apple cider a few days ago. Sweet Potatoes are so yummy, and I love making yams.

@CarolDM Yes, yum. One year I even added pineapple in with my yams and they came out delicious.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I love them both. Yams with cinnamon, sugar and butter.

Turnips....we seem to only have them at Thanksgiving but I'm sure they're available year round.

The only part of the turnip I eat is the turnip greens.
It seems like I only eat turnip and mustard greens this time of year.

I like chicken noodle soup sometimes. Have you ever had Italian Wedding Soup?
