I love bangers and mash with onion gravy.
My favourite meal for a cold day is a good old curry with all the bits (i.e. naan bread, onion baji's etc).

How about a spicy tomato soup with beans (borzolli, haricot or red kidney) red and yelllow peppers and chorizo sausage (you can put chestnuts into it too). Chorizo is optinal if you are vegetarian.

Tonight I made a nice chicken, celery and mushroom soup 50% mushroom by volume, they were selling them off cheap in Tescos (all blended into quite a think smooth soup) with 'beluga' lentils in it (small round black lentils, quite expensive but very tasty, and they do pop in your mouth like caviare)

Where I live, summer days will be oppressively hot until it rains, which it does every summer evening unless there's a drought on. Then it will be cool if not cold. So:
Vietnamese soup, esp. a well-made beef pho, is good for cold days. Ssaaavooorrryyy.
Anything Indian.
Anything with red chile--there's a little town called Chimayo north of where I live that has grown an especially tasty kind of red chile since the 1700s. Hard to get, and rare now, but good.
Chicken and winter root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, turnips, rutabagas, beets if you don't mind looking murdered bloodily):
Put the chicken pieces and the chopped vegetables into the same dish (a cast iron skillet works best--you can bake in it or use it on the stove, and if they're old enough, they're nonstick).
Mix blackstrap molasses and melted butter--perhaps with a touch of paprika and nutmeg--into a sauce. Pour it over the chicken and toss the vegetables in it as well.
Add salt and peper to the vegetables and pepper to the chicken. Bake. The sugary nature of the molasses will make the chicken brown nicely, and the juices from the chicken make the vegetables even tastier.
