I love it; but noone else in my family does. (but then; I HATE eggnog and noone else does!)

I often wondered why there's always such a bountiful supply of fruit cake at the supermarket when apparently the entire world hates the stuff, myself included!

I guess I'm one of a dieing race LOL. I've always loved fruitcake, my mom used to make the best fruitcake ever. and since she is no longer able to do so, I'm now the one who makes it in the family. And if i do say so myself, it is damn good hehe.

The only fruitcake that I like is very moist and made with large baking raisins. I hate the candied fruit that is in regular fruitcake. Yucky!

One thing about fruitcake. It would survive a nuclear holocaust. It lasts eternally!

It's because it's so old. You know the 'one fruitcake theory' that there's actually only one fruitcake in existence (forget what you see in the supermarket; it's an illusion). This one fruitcake is passed all around from one person to another as a gift at Christmas time.

Seriously though, I like fruitcake. It's not bad, especially the type mentioned that has a lot of raisins in it.

It's all long traditions and I like fruitcake and my mom and aunts made delish ones...You don't overeat these cakes....

Talking about these cakes, I'd be happy with a small slice from a dear source.....I'll keep my eyes open, but would NOT buy a whole cake small or large....small piece to satisfy the t\hought,
