While many places, including the likes of three-Michelin starred Moor Hall and Northcote celebrate local produce, often their menus feature many more exotic dishes than we knew growing up.
So turning back the clocks, we look here at some of the red rose county’s most traditional dishes and where you can still get hold of them.

7. Butter pie
Butter pies were created for workers from Lancashire's Catholic community, to consume on days (mainly Friday) when meat could not be eaten. They are made mainly from onions and potatoes encased in savory pastry. A posh version is often on the tasting menu at Preston's Aven Restaurant (formerly 263), which has been hailed as one of the best people have ever tasted. | CM

Chorley Cakes are flattened, fruit-filled pastry cakes, traditionally associated with the town of Chorley and often considered a regional variant of the Eccles cake, but with shortcrust pastry instead of puff pastry. You can get them in a range of cafes, and on your big shop in Sainsburys, where a pack of four will cost around £2.55 | Getty
