I do.
Comfort meals are perhaps what I'd call winter-based food defined by what nature calls us to seek, or winter-based behavior makes us seek out. Fats are much more comfortable to digest me when it's colder outside, especially in the temperate climates. I also eat more, which explains the heavier dishes, because I move around more, but moderation and life experience have taught me I just want to eat the best, seasonal food available. Health wise. And that's the main reason for that I pick. You can't doubt flavor in that respect.

Right now starchy tubers are some of my favorite, beets especially. Flavors are incomparable to other seasons. Apples, too. Denmark might have the best terroir for sweet-sour apples in the world with.
Other great vegetables from temperate climates best this period of year would include any cabbage and both hazel and walnuts, and grass-fed livestock is unquestionably meatier and has more nutrition overall, which implies they'd be in season as well. Oats, rye and other grains that favor temperate climates are, at least to me, all you need to stay extremely healthy most of the year as well, but my seasonal favorite this year would be pork belly, onion and apple with vinegar and thyme. Solid fats have been demonized for far too long.
