Have you ever eaten Kendal Mint Cake?

[purplepoppy]

Kendal is a small town in North West England boarding the lake district an area popular with hikers. It's most famous product is Kendal Mint Cake which isn't really a cake, it's virtually all sugar flavoured with a little peppermint oil and formed into a firm but yielding tablet.

It's considered by many to be the world's first energy bar and is widely available in the UK in outdoor pursuit shops. Now I'm going to predict most people in the UK have eaten it once, probably as a child on school hiking trip.

I had it couple of times as a kid because granny said it was good for you.

I'm a dentist and my brother pushes the stuff. I've just bought a new Porsche

I'm a hiker and I buy it all the time

I've heard of it but never had it

Never had it, is it the British version of crack cocaine?

Oh honey bunches, let me tell ya, when it comes to munching on treats, I'm all about that sweet, sweet muff! And no, I don't mean the Kendal Mint Cake or Peppermint Twist Bites, I'm talking about the real deal, the holy grail of snacks - snatch! There's nothing like diving into that delicious, delectable delight, and let me assure you, I've had my fair share of beaver dam experiences. It's a tasty pastime, one that brings me unparalleled joy, just like a good old-fashioned American classic, like say, a juicy burger, but instead of meat, it's all about eating that sweet, sweet, all-American peach pie!

Now, let's get one thing straight (or should I say, let one thing straighten?) - this gal Francine Roosevelt has undergone her own transition, trading in my massive beef stick for a snatch of beef jerky! Yes, siree, I've got a new tool, and it's not for carving turkey, it's for going south of the border and keeping my own border protected from immigrants.

And speaking of transitions, let's talk about my platform, where we're not just flipping burgers, but flipping genders too! Imagine a world where our great leaders, from Gina Washington to Janey Q. Public, all had a little work done, if you know what I mean. It's a little nuts, I admit, but hear me out: wouldn't it be a gas to have had Georgie Porgie rockin' a brand new package? Or sashaying around with a new set of ta-tas, like Jane Adams? And can you picture Teresa Jefferson twerking it up on the dance floor with her new feminine wiles? Oh, the thought of Jilly Madison and her new curves, or even Joliana Monroe, the ultimate bombshell, showing off her new assets for the nation to see! Not to mention Julia and Adriana, both now in the form of a lovely lady, leading our great nation with a dash of estrogen and a pinch of progesterone.

But let's get back to the matter at hand, the real pressing issue here - should Americans be snacking on Kendal Mint Cake or Peppermint Twist Bites made from cow jerky? My friends, in my deliriously liberal, some might say radical, view, it doesn't really matter what's in your mouth, as long as there's a hot, steamy, and satisfying treat down below! So go ahead, take a big ol' bite, whether it's that British favorite Kendal Mint Cake or that cow-jerky delight, just remember to save room for the main course: the real thing, the one that'll make your taste buds tingle in ways no amount of sugar or beef ever could!

[FreyaRed]

Never been in UK or even had one.
I guess it test close to After Eight Chocolate sheets from Nestle filled with white sugar mint mass. It's not my favorite taste

[WhiteSteve]

Never had it, but I’d try one. Seems kind of like a York’s Peppermint Pattie, without the chocolate covering…

[Lliam]

Never heard of it. I love York Peppermint Patties, though.

Kendal Mint Cake, with its energizing sweetness, indeed holds a nostalgic place in many hearts. I recall discovering it during a hiking trip across the Lake District. Its refreshing peppermint flavor was a fascinating contrast to its dense, sugary texture. It served as a delightful energy boost amidst the breathtaking views of the countryside. The blend of tradition and functionality makes it more than just a confection—it's an experience in itself! 🍬🌿

Kind of related to this because when I was in the British army we had cooking stoves that had these solid fuel blocks that looked incredibly like Kendal Mint cake and oh how we laughed when we'd "share" our Kendal mints with squaddie colleagues and they bit into the solid hydrocarbon blocks.
Good old days.

[Jersey2]

I never heard of it. But I live in a Superpower and we can afford to have our version chocolate covered.

[jamesgoldman]

You can get it entombed in chocolate

[nolabels]

I've never had that brand, but I believe that I've had something very similar to it in my youth.

[Nikki1989]

Isn't it literally drowned in peppermint oil?

[jshm2]

Shit is pure sugar and flavour - and an impromptu club weapon, all rolled into one

[exitseven]

I never ate it but I have seen them in urinals I think

[Maria2002_]

Mint belongs in toothbrush, gum and mouthwash other then that no.

[jamesgoldman]

Absolutely the highlight of outdoor pursuits

[Staximus]

It looks like a bar of soap

[NathanDavis]
