Temps are dipping and it’s time to vote on this Fall’s COTQ nominees! Our nomination thread included both dishes and cuisines this quarter, so I’ve decided to create a separate voting thread for a new topic, Dish of the Quarter! The nominated cuisines are listed below. Please cast your vote by liking just one of the posts below. Thanks HOs!
ETA: I’ll leave the voting open until Friday, October 8!
Like this post for BENGALI.
Like this post for SLAVIC CUISINE.
Soups is my highly versatile choice.
I believe the pattern of this thread is cuisine rather than dish.

I’m not familiar, does it mean Thanksgiving dishes for the US for example? I try to look up harvest bounty images, mainly squashes, some fruits and other vegetables. Should this be DOTQ instead.
I retract it since it doesn’t fit the category, But I was thinking of how various cultures highlight Fall produce.
I think it’s an interesting idea. Just need to see which category it fits.
Yes, I struggled with whether to place this in the DOTQ thread as well. However, it’s a pretty broad category, so I’m not sure it fits well there, either. IMO, in North America, this would include dishes that make use of vegetables, grains and meats that are traditionally harvested in the fall. Pork and game meats, squashes, grains, cabbages and other late harvest vegetables, grapes, etc. Other Nothern hemisphere countries may be similar or not depending upon climate.
Let it stays then! It’s more simple this way!
So we’re keeping it? Lol. If not I’ll go for Bengali.
I’m confused about this one too… especially as internationally, harvest season - and produce - varies
I think harvest cooking can work well as a normal thread on its own. Trying to fit in either category is a bit “strange”. But whatever.
I tend to agree it is confusing - I will delete so that this can be a two-way race. @TheCookie, please feel free to cast another vote!
Pilgrim, since there was quite a bit of confusion about this, I deleted it as a choice. Would be a great stand-alone thread, though!
Adding some links for Bengali and Slavic cuisines:
SLAVIC - seems to include most of Eastern Europe / Western Russia - I was going to add a map but different countries were and weren’t included - maybe someone else knows this better.
BENGALI (West Bengal in India and Bangladesh)
