Three places to learn about food history in:

Museum of Lakeland Life and Industry, Cumbria
Coinciding with Kendal's successful Festival of Food, A Taste of Lakeland, located on the museum's street scene, lets you feast your eyes as you learn about the food traditions of the Lake District and the stories that surround them. Until September 7 2015.

National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh
Current exhibition Lifting the Lid: 400 years of food and drink in Scotland uses a variety of material - including manuscripts, books, household accounts, tradesmen’s bills and amateur and government films about food - to contrast the richness and diversity of Scotland’s larder with the myths and traditions associated with its food. Until November 8 2015.

Science Museum, London
Find out about dibblers, seed drills, clod-crushers and junglebusters in the Agriculture gallery and see how the working life of an arable farm changes as the seasons unfold. Examine an original Ferguson tractor and operate a cut-away combine harvester yourself.
