| has gloss | eng: Kendal Mint Cake is a glucose-based confectionery flavoured with peppermint. It originates from Kendal in Cumbria, England. Kendal Mint Cake is popular among climbers and mountaineers, especially those from the United Kingdom, as a source of energy. 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. Kendal Mint Cake is well known to mountaineers and explorers for its high energy content. There are currently three companies that still produce Kendal mint cake in Kendal. |

| has gloss | nld: Kendal mint cake is een oorspronkelijk uit de Engelse stad Kendal afkomstige zoete versnapering op basis van glucose en pepermunt. De cake zou in 1869 bij toeval zijn ontstaan terwijl ene Joseph Wiper bezig was een heel ander product te ontwikkelen, de glacier mints (doorzichtige muntsnoepjes). Kendal Mint Cake is geliefd bij bergbeklimmers vanwege het hoge energiegehalte. Zo werd de cake bijvoorbeeld door Edmund Hillary meegenomen bij de beklimming van de Mount Everest in 1953. |
