Because we're absolutely obsessed with our culinary prowess in this city, we set ourselves the challenge of coming up with 80 dishes from around the world that you can find in some of Liverpool's restaurants, bars, cafes and takeaways.
From the bizarre to the traditional, no cuisine has been left undiscovered here. Think you can tick them off one by one? Let us know what else you'd put on the list...oh, and if you were thinking about starting a diet, forget about it for now.
