I certainly can't eat it... I get sick when I do. I know all sorts of things are done with it on Christmas (other than eating it). So, what will you do with your fruitcake?

If I somehow end up receiving a fruitcake, I will eat part of it and share the rest with friends, since it'll probably be a panetone rather than a traditional rock cake.

The closest I have gotten to a fruitcake of the gastronomical variety is working as an inbound telemarketer taking phone orders for the thing. It was amazing how many of these things people buy.

Not sure what I'd do with it. I'm sure I could concoct some horrible yuletide trap for Jania involving a fruitcake, but that's an awful lot of work.

So it'll probably be what I do every year.

Since I want to vomit when I taste fruit cake, I'll wait until it goes hard then throw it through the fruitcake factory window and hopefully brain someone.

Are you sure you can keep control of those things? What if they find out they're made of fruitcake, and that YOU made them???

See..

you people who hate it, have just never had good fruitcake. Ignore the stuff that has the candied fruit in it. Spend some money on a proper, fresh, rum laced fruitcake.

you will thank me.

I'm searching for the thing that distinguishes a good fruitcake from a bad fruitcake... ever try just drinking rum?

I'll be honest, all the fruitcake I've had is pre-packaged candied fruit crap. So I guess it's possible I'd enjoy fresh fruitcake. I wouldn't know until I ate some.

The rum isnt there to hide anything. just adds to it.

Also, if you heat up the prepackaged candied crap, in the oven, not the microwave.. it softens up, and tastes better.

The rum is actually there primarily as a preservative. The fruit cakes we know today originated as an ultra-dense and highly nutritious cake that can be made before and eaten throughout the winter. The best fruitcakes are made with high quality dried fruit and toasted nuts.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

I dunno about the dried fruit.. If you want it to keep all winter, then yeah.. but I like to eat it, and actually have others eat and enjoy it, so I tend to go with fresh fruit. Less chewy that way.

Plum Pudding > Fruitcake.

(And for those who don't know, Plum pudding isn't a "pudding", it's a cake, with fruits in it, but much less dense than a fruitcake, and a much different taste.)

Ditto. Never received one, never tried it, never really had any urge to. Not because of all the 'fruitcake = crap' stuff I see on TV all the time, but just because I got curious and looked it up, and it didn't seem all that appetizing from what I saw of it online.

Most I got this year was a fruit basket. My grandmother sent it, it was kinda funny. It had my entire families name on it and said "Love, Mother" and I was completely confused as to who it was. I rarely ever talk to the woman, but she's a very cold individual so I guess this is a refreshing change.
