has glosseng: Kendal Mint Cake is a glucose-based confectionery flavoured with peppermint. It originates from Kendal in Cumbria, England.

History Kendal Mint Cake was first developed in 1869 by Joseph Wiper, who began producing it in his small Kendal factory. It is thought that the discovery was a mistake, and that Wiper was in fact attempting to make clear "glacier" mints. Wiper founded Wiper's Mint Cake.
