Weird stuff in the fridge

Not commonly found in everybody's home but just so happen to be in my fridge.

How appealing. Makes you wanna use some doesn't it?

And also George Romney's Kendal Mint Cake.


Which I got from Lake District in 2001. I don't remember seeing an expiry date. Not many have heard of Kendal Mint Cake much less tasted them. It's super sweet and you normally nibble and probably shouldn't finish the entire block.

The story goes that someone in Kendal was trying to make clear glacier mints, but let the sugar overcook, and saw that the mix had become cloudy rather than clear. He poured it our anyway, and the result was Kendal Mint Cake. Production started in 1869 and it was sold at Kendal railway station among other places. Hence its fame spread to across the north of England. Kendal Mint Cake got two big publicity boosts from being used by Shackleton on has Arctic expeditions and by the first Everest expedition team. There are some bits leftover by Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay at the summit of Everest to appease the gods.

Maybe I should join the Gobi March and eat it then. It melts. So maybe not.
