EARLY QUIGGIN’S EXPEDITIONS
“It seemed to be converted into energy almost immediately and we were able to undergo very strenuous activity for long periods without further nutrition.
It was a very essential part of our diet.I would certainly choose your Mint Cake as the main basis for energy production in the field, in any further expeditions. I know of no other food that would satisfy the exacting and difficult requirements of high altitude climbing so well.”
George B. Spenceley (F.R.O.S.) Nepal Himalayan Expedition 1957
“At exactly noon, I would take out the mint cake ration, break it into portions and place them on top of the sledge load. These portions, I would have one at a time, one every five minutes. This gave me enough sustenance to last until lunchtime.”
Geoff Somers Trans-Antarctica Expedition 1989/90
“It was under these extremely cold conditions that we appreciated the real sustaining value of Kendal Mint Cake.”
