And the best place to eat it is overlooking Scafell from the summit of Bowfell. Thats me about 40 years ago.



Another bit of history regarding Kendal Green from...

http://www.thecumbriadirectory.com/T...php?url=kendal

Kendal's prosperity came from the wool trade. Begun in the 13th century, the trade flourished in the 14th century when Flemish weavers came to the area. From this time through the 19th century there were many mills on the River Kent. The town's motto ‘pannus mihi panis’ (wool is my bread) relates to ‘Kendal Green’, a rough, hardwearing material worn by Kendal archers.

I do not think it was ever used for kilts and Kendal is several hundred miles south of the Highlands.
