produced and holding deep rootsin Lake District history.

The Cumberland Coil

Cumberland Sausages consist ofrough cut pork, spices, herbs andpepper and are known for theirdistinctive shape. The coil ofsausage is sold by weight orlength. One possibility for itsshape is that it was introducedduring the Elizabethan Reign byGerman miners working in theLake District who wanted areminder of the thick meatysausages they were used to eatingin Germany.

Westmorland Damsons

While Damsons originally camefrom the area around Damascus,the small, bluey-purple fruits havebeen grown in Westmorland sincethe early 1700s. AlthoughWestmorland no longer exists, TheWestmorland Damson is a tastytribute to the historic county, whichis now part of the much largercounty of Cumbria. The fruit is amember of the plum family and itsunique flavour is said to be a result

of cross pollination with wild sloesand also the favourable Cumbrianclimate. The fruit is harvested inSeptember and used to flavourwines, gin, pies, cheeses, chocolate,bread, jams and beer.

Try Gingerbread in Grasmere...

Created by Sarah Nelson in 1854,this secret recipe results in aunique product – a cross betweena cake and a biscuit and nothinglike crisp gingerbread used forgingerbread shapes. You can buy itfrom the Grasmere GingerbreadShop in Grasmere village, next tothe church.
