I haven’t posted one of these in forever, but there was something about this one that James C. sent me that made me feel all cozy and wintry. James says this comes from a pub he visited in Bovey Tracey, Devon, England:

Venison and cranberry pie with mash, pickled cabbage, parsnips, carrots, broccoli and lots of gravy. At a very cosy 17th-century inn on the high street of this little town on the edge of Dartmoor, where I’m visiting some Catholic friends for the weekend.

It seems like everything about pubs, from their architecture and furnishings to their food and drink, seems to be designed to make you feel all warm and dry inside, at peace with the world, on a cold and wet December evening.

Amen, brother!

For the Advent and Christmas season, let’s bring back cozy Views From Your Table. Remember the rules:

  1. The meal must be centered in the photo
  2. The image must contain the meal in context; no photo of the dish alone, but a photo of the dish in a wider context
  3. No faces

James C. is the VFYT master. This photo above is a perfect example of the form.
