Lincolnshire has a number of local dishes:
*[[Stuffed chine]] – this is salted neck-chine of a pig taken from between the shoulder blades, salted for up to ten months and stuffed with [[parsley]] (other ingredients are normally kept secret), and served cold.<ref name="Ports1937">{{cite news |title=Lincolnshire's Dishes |work=Portsmouth Evening News |date=5 November 1937 |access-date=15 February 2015 |url=http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000290/19371105/153/0010 |via=[[British Newspaper Archive]] |url-access=subscription}}</ref>
*[[Haslet]] – a type of pork loaf, also flavoured with sage (pronounced HAYSS-let or AYSS-let in Lincolnshire but HAZ-let in many other parts of the country).<ref name="Ports1937"/>
*[[Lincolnshire sausage]]s – most butchers in Lincolnshire have their own secret recipe for these and a competition is held each year to judge the best sausages in the county. Traditional Lincolnshire sausages are made entirely from minced pork, stale bread crumb ([[rusk]] is used nowadays) pepper, sage and salt. The skins should be natural casings which are made from the intestines of either sheep or pig.
*[[Pork pie]]s – the same pork butchers will take a pride in their unique recipe for pork pies.
*[[Giblets|Giblet]] pie.<ref name="Ports1937"/>
*[[Lamb and mutton|Mutton]] stuffed with [[oyster]]s.<ref name="Ports1937"/>
*Plum bread – as with [[Christmas pudding|plum pudding]], plum refers to [[dried fruit]], namely currants, raisins and sultanas, sometimes soaked in tea.
*Grantham Gingerbread – a hard white ginger biscuit.
*[[Lincolnshire Poacher cheese]] – a cheddar-style cheese produced in [[Alford, Lincolnshire|Alford]]. Lincolnshire Poacher has won numerous awards over the years including Supreme Champion at the 1996/7 British Cheese Awards and Best British Cheese at the World Cheese awards in 2001/2. 
*[[Batemans Brewery|Batemans]] ales – a beer brewed in [[Wainfleet, Lincolnshire|Wainfleet]] and served in many pubs in the county and further afield.
*There are several small breweries.
*Grimsby is renowned for its fishing industry, and historically ''Grimsby Fish'' has carried a premium price. Since the decline of the fishing industry following entry to the European Economic Community in the 1970s this is no longer the case, with the majority of fish sold at the town's fish market being brought overland from other ports. However, ''Grimsby Fish'' is still a recognised ''product'', one associated with a particular area that specialises in and has expertise in a particular trade (cf ''Sheffield steel''). In 2009 [[Traditional Grimsby smoked fish|smoked fish]] from the town was granted [[Protected Geographical Indication]] by the [[European Union]], reflecting the unique smoking methods used by certain local fish companies.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article6919386.ece |location=London |work=The Times |title=Traditional Grimsby Smoked Fish is granted European PGI status |first=Valerie |last=Elliott |date=17 November 2009 | access-date=16 July 2010 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629142147/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article6919386.ece | archive-date=29 June 2011 | url-status=dead}}</ref>
