The story is so good I have to quote the makers about page: ""George Romney Ltd is a fourth-generation confectionery business that you’ll find located on the edge of the Lake District National Park in the market town of Kendal. Mr Sam. T. Clarke, the great grandfather of the present Managing Director, Mr John Barron, started production of Romney’s Kendal Mint Cake in 1918 after being medically discharged during the First World War. The company name ‘George Romney Ltd.’ was chosen as a result of Kendal’s association with the famous portrait painter, as well as the fact that the family home was on Romney Road. Romney's Kendal Mint Cake was immortalized in history on May 29th 1953 when it was carried on the first successful summit of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. All of our production now takes place on-site at Mintsfeet Industrial Estate, Kendal, where we have been since 1969. We now employ 19 members of full and part-time staff, who collectively produce over 100 tonnes of Romney’s Kendal Mint Cake a year."" Seriously, carried up Everest by Hilary and Norgay? How has this confection illuded me my entire life? It's all about mint. Oddly like a mountain goddess it calls you from its grave (place in the cupboard) beckoning you to take a bite. Buttery, there is a strange chemistry afoot in it's nearly ancient recipe. Two more notes: Marco's last name is RomEny and we have a close friend named KendalL. That is the deeper connection.
