...local food?
Mine has to be Cumberland sausage.
I also love Grasmere Gingerbread, but hate sticky toffee pudding, which is made up the road in Cartmel.
So what's local to you, and what do you love?
Local food?
In Huddersfield?
Gotta be a nice curry then...
cider
An elderly couple produced local honey.
Last year I found out that the chap had died, so sad, so his wife decided to stop. Also there has been a honey drought in Britain as a whole.
I miss it on my hot buttered toast and in porridge. The supermarket stuff doesn't taste as yummy.
My local butcher does some stunning sausages.
Sinnington strawberries.
The best I've tasted, and I work in the fruit and veg trade where we sell tons of the ****ers.
ponsonby pies.
Can't stand Worcester Sauce funnily enough! Passed the Lea & Perrins Factory on my way to school every day for about 5 years when I was in my teens, and it used to make me Gag going past it!
can we include drink?
Talisker
food? Stotties 🙂
I'm not sure Glasgow has a local delicacy, unless you count all manner of deep fried awfulness. Pizza in batter anyone?!?
[pedant mode] It's Worcestershire Source, Wylds lanes finest[end pedant mode]
From my home town the afore mentioned sauce.
From where I live now the various cuts of Gloucester Old Spot.
Beer from the Cotswold Spring Brewery.

Deep fried mars bar or maybe deep fried pizza. 
Good Lord, where do I start?!?
There's a veritable cornucopia of cuisine from all corners of the Globe, to be found near where I live. Spose the East End is most famous for it's curry houses, these days. Alternatively, I live a spit from Billingsgate Fish Market, but I never get up early enough to actually go and buy owt!
On Saturday, I had some fantastic Caribbean grub, then later on, fish and chips in a riverside pub. And some fantastic locally-brewed beer.
Spoiled for choice, for sure!
Having thought a bit harder, A.R. Jones' Cheese and Onion Pasties are the Daddy of their genre.
Hendersons Relish - none of that 'other' rubbish thank you.
Pale Rider - Kelham Island brewery, a lovely pint indeed.
As a child, I remember having a dish known as 'modge and chips' which was left over meat and 'tater pie, put back in a large pan and the gravy added to it, and a shed load of hendersons relish. Served with a copious quantity of home made chips cooked in beef dripping in t' chip pan.
I know of no one else who has ever heard of that, but not sure whether its downright weirdness or what.

Pieminister Pies in Brizzle, washed down with a pint or two of Butcombe Beer or Thatchers Cider.

In that London's Famous London, I'd say it's the fine beers from Meantime in Greenwhich. Lovely, lovely beer.
On the rural front, I'd say that it's Test Trout, Robinson's bacon, anything I've bagged myself (Rabbit, pigeon, pheasant etc), Hop Back and Stonehenge beers and of course, all that lovely watercress....yum!
speldhurst sausage lovely bit of meat
Oh and Larkins beer, brewery is half a mile away from my house.
well, if drink is included in this then some lovely local(ish) booze from the bowland brewery always goes down well
there's a local cheese maker out in the same countryside that makes chili-con-cheddar which is damn tasty too. many times the old camelback as returned from a ride stuffed with cheesy goodness 😀
Only local food from these parts is Worcestershire Sauce - so....cheese on toast. 😆
Washed down by a pint of Black Pear. 😉
Ill second the Grasmere Gingerbread even though im not a local - whenever we head that way have to pick some up! My sister is having some as her wedding favours!
As far as kent goes - has to be Spitfire!

Lavabread the Gowers finest from Penclawd just cant get it here in Saesland.
[i]I'm not sure Glasgow has a local delicacy, unless you count all manner of deep fried awfulness. Pizza in batter anyone?!?[/i] So what Glasgow chippy sells pizza in batter then. I think you mean deep fried pizza, which is just a normal pizza cooked in the deep fat fryer. It isn't battered.
Anyway - devon cider, Arbroath smokies, just about any local pasty and pie I've tried from Cornwall to Auchterarder.

Bathams
Where I live now - Stanforths Pork Pies in Skipton, warm so the juice drips down your chin.
From growing up - I had a Ye Olde Pastie shop pastie the other day and they were much saltier that I remember but still a Bolton culinery institution.
all that lovely watercress....yum!
Good call Captain FH, would second that. Specifically the place in Broadchalke:

Also, some awesome cheese makers round here - Lyburn in the New Forest worth investigating.
arbroath smokies, straight out the barrell and still warm

Nothing local in Bedfordshire.....
There is the Bedfordshire clanger - a suet crust dumpling that has meat filling at one end and a jam filling at the other so main course and dessert in one item.
Lyburn is indeed very good! Did you have any when they did the tasting at Waitrose in Salisbury? The Old Winchester was superb. Bought a lump and it got demolished over lunch!
No, I did 3 photo-documentaries last year on local food producers, and went to photograph the Lyburn cheesemaker doing his stuff, so I tried the Old Winchester there. Good for Waitrose for supporting local producers.
Our chippy does battered pizza. If you can dip it in batter, they'll fry it for you. Ick!!!
I love haggis and white/mealy pudding. Shame they're soaked in fat. 🙁
Bristol based?
Well, we've Pieminister pies, which are fab.
Lots of local cider, and just to the south -
Cheddar Cheese.
Flashy; you'll have to join me for a pint or two of Meantime beer in the Greenwich Union sometime!
I have a hazy recollection of being there with WCA, last summer, sitting outside drinking pints of the stuff, and eating mussels.
i do miss cumberland sausages, always forget to get some whilst home
Buckfast is made in Devon. Consumed in prodigious volume in West-Central Scotland but it's not local I'm afraid.
Luca's and di Rollo's ice creams both from Musselburgh. Mmm.
The Cornish Pasty

Mmmmmmmmmmm............. 😮
Tartiflette, very healthy............

Brixworth pate
Spratton pork pies
Church's shoes.....yummee!
Butteries, also known as rowies or aberedeen rolls.
Brew dog beer, particularly their stout, Rip Tide. It is a little lethal at 8%. Balvenie though that is less local than iit used to be.
When I lived in Lancaster there was a Farmer's Market in town every Saturday and usually a weekday as well. One of the stalls there sold lamb raised on the local salt marshes which was lovely. 🙂
Salt Marsh Lamb was one of the 'famous' local delicacies, I suppose drink wise it would be a pint of Lancaster Bomber (which personally I couldn't stand...) Nice plane, shame about the beer.
dock & nettle pudding, rook pie, Timothy Taylors landlord, beef dripping on bread, blue asbestos.
brought up in Pecket Well. 😆
Socca - nyum nyum nyum
Here in Ayrshire it the Killie Pie I'd guess. One time winner of the best pie in football. Unbelievable uproar in Kilmarnock when the crown was taken off them by a pie made in Yeovil, first reaction being 'where the **** is Yeovil' followed by 'and its a chicken pie FFS!, its doesn't even have any meat in it!'
And as for Glasgow, wake up everyone! its Mortons Rolls (or McGees now they've been bought up)

Haunch of venison roasted on the barbeque
Bakewell pudding [b]NOT TART[/b]
Bradwells ice cream
Oat cakes (from Chatsworth)
I don't mean to be rude but...... Stu you idiot Buckfast is the at other end of the country from Glasgow last time i checked..... tsk!
Charlie Wells brews used to hail from Bedfordshire.
Here it has to be Orford smokehouse fish/oysters and St Peter Ales. The local veg from Newbourne isn't too shonky either,
Lancaster Bomber isn't made in Lancaster any more, since Mitchell's closed. I do quite like Bomber though. This place still brews beer in Lancaster and has some very nice beers - http://www.lancasterbrewery.co.uk/thebeer.htm
This place does amazing smoked stuff - http://www.polsco.co.uk/
Not quite local to me but Waberthwaite Cumberland sausage is amazing.
I go to the farmer's market here in Lancaster quite a bit and there are loads of fantastic local producers.
Hmmm, not really a food as such:
[img] 
[/img]
But with a decent bit of bacon and two door wedges of bread, plus a good pint 😉
Mmmmm, hungry now 😉
Can I say the garlic and broad beans from my back garden? The beans were one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten and there's so much garlic I eat it all year round (and it's nicer than farmed).
Otherwise, I got some lovely goats cheese from a woman with a herd near St Albans once. And the baklava and pide bread from the local Turkish shop is incredible.
stuartlangwilson - Glasgow's greatest delicacy is Tunnocks teacakes surely?
MacSweens Haggis - even the veggie variety is lovely.
Moonshine from the Abbeydale brewery is very smooth and dangerously easy to drink on a warm summers evening.
it would have to be Frog in Hot Spicy Sauce over a flame, Whole Prawns soaked in Garlic and Chilli Oil
Love it, can't get enough of it... although when I fart it burns too, and I often sing "Oh the ring of fire, the ring of fire" 😯
