Does anyone actually LIKE fruitcake?

[CatWoman]

I pick the dried cherries and nuts out.

Otherwise, I can't stand it.

1. Maybe it's just the ones my Granny makes,...

... but I love fruitcake! *drool* :)

2. I used to answer "blech" when it came to fruit cake.

But then, a friend got a holiday job at Harry and David (the main joint in Oregon). He sent me a basket of goodies containing a REALLY moist piece of fruit cake. Of course, the moistness had something to do with the brandy *hic* but it was yummy!

3. I love it!

It's traditional Xmas food Down Unda and doesn't have the same bad name as in the States.

[JohnKleeb]

4. I liked it until I tried it

The name seemed appealing, but I didnt like it at all.

[silverlib]

5. I love it...

but only from the Collin's Street Bakery in Corsicana, Texas. Take one of their's, soak it overnight in Rum, and it's incredible.

[realFedUp]

8. I agree...only from Collin's St. Bakery

[asjr]

17. Oh my yes

Collins St is one of the best. The closest thing I have come to that is a little Amish bakery in our area. They make everything from scratch and their Cowboy Cookies are to die for. Their fruitcake is delicious.

25. Collin's Street is

the only kind I can tolerate, theirs is actually good :9 any others though. :puke:

[prolesunited]

6. As the risk of doing irreperable harm to my reputation...

If it's actually good fruitcake, yes. Please don't pelt me with the hard-as-a-rock ones that have been passed around for years. :-)

[CanuckAmok]

7. Love it!

Can't have it this year, however, because of my stupid braces!

[RebelOne]

9. I know I don't. Never did.

[rbnyc]

10. I love it.

Looks like most people either hate it or love it. And lucky for me, more people hate it, and I end up with about 5 of them every year.

[DinahMoeHum]

11. Only the kind I make for myself. . .with rum and brandy. . .

Coruba Jamaican rum and Christian Bros. brandy, that is.

12. SEND ME YOUR FRUITCAKE!!!!!

I found two purposes:

1: I built my garage out of old fruitcakes!

2. It really hurts when I hit a freeper in the head with one!

:evilgrin:

[Tinoire]

13. Only the one I make. Takes 6 months. Will curl your toes from joy

Old Creole recipe I am sworn to never give out because I wheedled and grovelled to get it from someone who had sworn she would never give it out (my own aunt can you believe?).

Otherwise I almost always hate it.

[Xithras]

14. Homemade, yes. Storebought, no.

Heavy on the rum :)

[bif]

15. I love it. Especially the A&P (Jane Parker) brand!

n/t

[TNDemo]

16. There is only one fruitcake in the entire world.

It just keeps getting regifted to people.

[DifferentStrokes]

18. It doesn't like me

Doesn't stay long. :-(

[Capn Sunshine]

19. I keep trying to picture making one

that must be some chunky batter.

I have found that fruitcakes are usually consumed when in altered states

Next morning you always wonder if anyone helped you with it:puke:

[grannylib]

20. No, fruitcake is ishy.

[corarose]

21. If it's not dried out I like it

You can make a good one by using two boxes of date & nut bread mix and adding the dried fruit, nuts and rum in.

[Terwilliger]

22. no, but I like cheesecake

GIMME SOME! :-)

[Race4Peace]

34. chese cake and red velvet cake

23. I love it. I realize I am in the minority.

[MaryBear]

24. Especially soused regularly with brandy!

Yum!

[tigereye]

27. I do like it. grandmother used to make it

[nostamj]

26. good, fresh, moist, NOT stale fruitcake???

warm???
with a smear of cream cheese??? with a hot cup of good coffee???

sure!

that leaden stuff that's been forwarded as a 'gift' for more than a decade???

no

[trackfan]

28. It depends -

If it has those horrible candied fruits in it, No. But, if it is just dried fruit, nuts, and a lot of booze, they can be okay.

[Zomby Woof]

29. yep!

Homemade, and soaked in red wine. :-)

[CatWoman]

30. you're all a bunch of drunks

[Zomby Woof]

31. My husband does.

Beats me.

[Race4Peace]

35. never ate any...

[Overkil]
