What does winter food mean to you?

I’m a farmer’s son, and in Ireland we have a very large sustainable grow operation, so the first taste of winter to me is my nice late celery. Early autumn, it starts coming out of the garden and then roots and shoots: the roots in the ground and the shoots in the polytunnels. When the first frost lands on my garden and I pull the first Jerusalem artichokes — because we never pull them before the first frost — that’s really when winter starts for me.
