A Shipley family has celebrated Yorkshire Day by living off the region's delicacies for a week.

Lesley and Rick Morton ditched their favourite dishes of pizza, stir-fries and curry and opted for the county's traditional fare - and there wasn't a single Yorkshire pudding in sight.

Now the family, of Leyburn Grove, say they have a real taste for Yorkshire food and will be making an effort to buy more of it.

Childminder Mrs Morton said she was initially daunted by the challenge.

"I wasn't aware that so much produce came from Yorkshire," said the 28-year-old.

"I thought it would just be a case of Yorkshire pudding every night and I was worried I wouldn't be able to provide a varied menu but there was a lot of choice."

Asda in Shipley provided a hamper of food from across the region.

It included aubergines, fruit salad, bags of salad, potatoes, pineapple, mushrooms, radishes and tomatoes.

There was also a range of meats, eggs and orange juice.

Daughter Katie, six, particularly liked the stripey Wensleydale cheese, while son Josh, 11, enjoyed bacon sandwiches for breakfast.

On Sunday the family sat down to a meal of roast beef with all the trimmings. And one evening Mrs Morton stuffed chicken breasts with Wenslydale cheese and served them with jacket potatoes and salad.

"We drastically changed what we ate and although I've missed my pizza I've enjoyed it," she said.

"I like the idea of sustaining local farmers and knowing exactly where your food comes from.

"I would like to see food marked in the supermarkets all year round telling you if it is from Yorkshire.

"It also means the food we eat is much fresher as it's not spent hours in the back of a truck."

Engineer Mr Morton said he was amazed at the amount of meat produced in Yorkshire.

"It didn't taste any different and it was all very nice but it's good to know that so much is produced in this region," he said.

Asda has joined today's celebrations by promoting more than 40 different Yorkshire-based suppliers.
