 Arguably the most famous of the Lake District's meat products is the traditional Cumbrian sausage.
It's pretty easy to recognise because it is coiled rather than linked like other British sausages. It's sold by length or weight and is made from rough-cut pork. It has a high meat content, at least 85%, and is made with a blend of herbs, spices and seasonings. Most of the butchers producing authentic Cumbrian sausage have their own recipes, often dating back over a hundred years. The name comes from the traditional Cumberland pig, now extinct. Nowadays, the sausage is made from
other free-range rare breed pigs.

It's worth a holiday in the Lake District just to visit Thornby Moor Dairy, Crofton Farm near Thursby. Sample the amazing range of cheeses made by artisan cheesemakes who aim to preserve the rich heritage of cheesemaking in Cumbria.
A
great favourite is the traditional, cloth bound Cumberland cheese, made
to an
old recipe. All cheeses are available direct from the dairy, or by mail
order. Local shorthorn cows provide the milk for the unpasteurized
cheese. Goats
cheese is another of the products visitors can buy in the shop after
seeing the cheese being made.
Wedding cake tiers made of cheese and decorated with fruit are
becoming more popular for brides designing something a little bit
different.

Farmers Markets provide an excellent way to meet producers face to
face. There are even opportunities to try before you buy. A wide
variety of fresh and organic products is available that would often be
a struggle to find in a supermarket. Remember how carrots used to taste. Sharp and zingy. Visiting a local-produce market is a breathe of fresh air. The sooner you organise your break through LakeLets, the quicker you'll be enjoying food that tastes as it should. Over 100 busy market days are held countywide each year; find local meat, fish,
dairy, pickles, preserves, bakery products, puddings and more. Made in Cumbria provides a calendar detailing when and where Farmers Markets are being held throughout Cumbria
