Les Delices De Cumbria - Part XXI

(Actually, we're beginning to lose count). Those among our regular readers looking for a genuinely Italianate experience in Cumbria need go no further than the fabulous Lizzie's Cumbrian Frutta Cotta, a mesmerising concoction of figs, apricots and prunes steeped in spices and rum. There are rumours that the same lady produces a Cumbrian version of that full-on Italian post-prandial delicacy involving preserved fruit and mustard. A delicacy too far for the present writer, though I suspect that others may disagree . . .
