Do you enjoy fish and shellfish? Start at Narborough Trout Lakes near King's Lynn where you can buy fresh or smoked fish, then head north. Then move up to the North Norfolk coast where you'll be able to sample the amazing variety of Norfolk seafood such as mussels from Stiffkey (Stewkey Blues), lobsters and shrimps from Sheringham and the famous crabs from Cromer.
As you explore the Norfolk Coast you may be able to pick or buy Samphire - the asparagus of the sea. An edible seaweed, Samphire is a real delicacy and well worth seeking out.
|  | Something a little sweeter
If you have a sweet tooth then head to Great Yarmouth, the home to the world's largest seaside rock shop. Norwich is the home of Caleys Chocolate which has been making chocolate since 1883.
Lakenham Creamery produces delicious dairy ice-creams and on the streets of Norwich you can pick up a Ronaldos ice-cream or sorbet from his cart on London Street.
Wherever you go in Norfolk you'll find delicious sweets, fudges, cakes and preserves to satisfy your craving for sugar. | | Beer at its best
Norfolk is a great grain growing area, noted for the quality of its barley so it's no suprise that fine beers are produced here. There are many small breweries such as Woodfordes, Buffy's and the Iceni Brewery to explore - each producing distinctive ales.
For real ale fans the Norwich Beer Festival, which takes place in October, should not be missed. | Meaty stuff
Rare breed pork, organic lamb, naturally reared beef, venison, game and home made sausages and pies - if you enjoy really good meat then look no further than Norfolk. The county has some superb producers and many of them sell to the public from their premises.
Norfolk poultry is some of the best in the UK with many farms rearing turkeys, ducks and geese.
Norfolk Black Turkeys, now a rare breed, are famous for their distinctive, gamey flavour and small breasts. You can order your Christmas turkey from Peeles of Norfolk and memories of your visit to the county will stay with you as you enjoy your festive dinner. | | |
