I am one of the few weirdos in the world who love fruitcake. Got any you don't want? I will take your fruitcake off your hands!

Thanks to YZGI for this poll idea.

What's your feeling on fruitcake?

Terrible things, fruitcakes

Allow me to be the first to say you're nutty as a.

My aunt used to make really good ones, lots. I like just a small

slice every once in a while, with a cup of tea. Today is a rainy

day here, and a little fruitcake would go good right about now!

I guess I can understand people who don't care for them, but it

is one of those things I think depends on your first expeience

with them. If you've tasted one that came in a can sitting in

Woolworth's back room for 3 years, then yeah, you might not

like 'em!

There's just something wrong with eating something that could survive a nuclear blast!

Store bought fruitcake is pretty horrible, if i want some I make one, using my ma's recipe....It's the best fruitcake I ever tasted. if you want to know what a proper cake tastes like, PM me for the recipe.....Damn it's good!

:D

I adore fruitcake,as if the American one is the same as the UK one,then it is not too sweet,I love our Christmas cake minus the marzipan and icing as that is too sweet for me. I like to soak the fruit in guiness before I make it,as it turns out very moist and yummy,

Patsy Warnick · Post by **Patsy Warnick** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 4:05 pm

Now soaking fruitcake in Rum - I might have a bite of that.

Fibonacci - your not missing anything.

Its still a football to me - can't stand the red jelly fruit stuff - yuk

Hey! I am not old!! And I try to never share my fruitcake!

I like Claxton fruitcakes - you get them at the grocery store at Christmas time.

And so far this year, I have had 5 of them!

You see...when you start wanting to share it...... then you will be getting old!:)

I'm thinking the fruit cake my grandma made was rock cake, with bits of candied fruit!

So it's settled then. You have to be a fruitcake to eat a fruitcake. Thanks I was wondering what the criteria was...:wah:

Hey, they ALL love me!

I'm a fruitcake.

911 · Post by **911** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 3:25 pm

Take out the weird fruit and I might like it.

But it's just wrong seeing those strange pieces of half fruit mucking up a perfectly good cake. Even the fruit is old.

I think of them as one of those last minute gifts you get at the grocery for those people who happen to stop by with a gift you weren't expecting. :wah:
