Editing Cumbria (section)

==Food==

Cumbria is the UK county with the highest number of [[Michelin Guide|Michelin-starred]] restaurants, with seven in this classification in the Great Britain and Ireland Michelin Guide of 2021. Traditional Cumbrian cuisine has been influenced by the spices and molasses that were imported into [[Whitehaven]] in the 18th century. The [[Cumberland sausage]] (which has a [[protected geographical status]]) is a well-recognised result of this. Other regional specialities include Herdwick mutton and the salt-marsh raised lamb of the [[Cartmel Peninsula]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Cumbria – the UK county with the most Michelin stars |url=https://guide.michelin.com/ie/en/article/features/cumbria---the-uk-county-with-the-most-michelin-stars |website=Michelin Guide |access-date=15 July 2021 |archive-date=15 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210715085837/https://guide.michelin.com/ie/en/article/features/cumbria---the-uk-county-with-the-most-michelin-stars |url-status=live }}</ref>
