Food in Yorkshire is a real treat and the county has more than its fair share of famous foods for visitors to try. From the humble Kit Kit, a coffee break favorite for many (myself included), to Yorkshire puddings, crab, scampi (another favorite), and Wensleydale cheese, Yorkshire is an excellent destination for foodies.

There are many excellent restaurants, pubs, and bistros across the region where you can sample typical Yorkshire food such as local lamb, curd tart, and parkin (a traditional cake of the county).
