I suppose there is Kendal Mint Cake, which is a very English sweet.
And although it's not actually a mint, there's Fisherman's Friends, which are certainly English. And very strong.
But I don't recognise the picture of your mints. |
The mints in post #8 are made in Mexico. They are sold in many flavors, one of those is called "English mint" [menta inglesa], which, after reading wikipedia, I think corresponds to peppermint (mentha pipperita). Spearmint is another flavor of those mints but it is called "hierba buena" (literally "good herb") in Spanish.
I've not seen any of the mints mentioned in this thread. The closest I know is Altoids, which I think are made in USA.
