Liverpool Tart
With the earliest mention of the recipe for the Liverpool Tart dating back to 1897, a revival in 2006 aimed to make the dish as well-known as the Eccles Cake or Bakewell Tart.
Famous for its use of whole boiled and minced lemons, the tart might be seen topped with a cut out of the famous Liver Bird, the symbol of the tart’s namesake city
