Autumn, Earthy Menu

This is not intended to be an exact menu for a particular meal, but rather a menu of items of a particular theme from which the cook may choose.

The theme is fall or autumn and earthy flavors (and an effort to distinguish this from a winter menu).

Serving Suggestions, Notes for the Cook:

The challenge is to keep this 'Fall' and not venture too much into 'Winter'. Needless to say, it is 'Western' and 'Northern' in feel.

Keep in the back of your mind the things that you would have on hand (prior to refrigeration and canning) at your location during Fall, and branch out from there.
