It's getting cold as fuck in Melbourne. There's a few good soups but most are ass. Stews are where it's at. Post soups that don't taste like ass and also your favourite varieties of stew (including de facto international stews like curries, chilli, whatever the fuck) and anything else that warms you up on cold days.
