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?

love it

Fruitcakes are just wrong!!!

Yuk is all I have to say :yh_sick:yh_sick

yuk yuk yuk

fruitcake, xmas pudding, mince pies all gross ewwwwwwwww yuk!

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!

I could take it or leave it.

Fruitcake - NO

we use to air dry it out - the it was a football.

Fruitcake as a FG member - ya theres one here playing games JJ and I just don't get it? I could him around like a football

nooo

my mum has just been iceing a christmas cake and i really don't like that sort thing,

mince pies, christmas pudding, yuk

i do like the marziepan though

I've never had it.

I'm with Fibby....I've somehow managed to go 40 years with NEVER touching the stuff....I never liked the way it looked.

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,

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

:yh_rotfl

I'm not old............................yet.

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!

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

love the stuff, now you got me wanting a slice or 2 been ages since my mom made it.

Fruitcake is just awful, they even smell funny..

I love home made fruitcake & plum pudding.

Then again they say you are what you eat:sneaky:

Not to keen on the mince pies though.:-6

Fruit cake is the best - I LOVE FRUITCAKE



















I thought this thread was about Nomad

i love it yum:D

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.

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:
