Let's start a Facebook group...."People who think fruitcake should be outlawed"

Several years ago we helped a friend clean out a house that his great uncle had left to him. We found a large ceramic barrel which had wrapped fruit cakes in them. We're guessing they had been in there for years. I guess the "best" fruitcakes are "aged" and THEN eaten. Yuck.

I like fruitcake - my grandmother's recipe. Nice and chewy - not "cakey." I liked it particularly when I could eat it with Grandma with her strong, hot coffee. I liked my great aunt Beth's fruitcake when I was growing up. She didn't use the "fruit" she used gumdrops instead That was good :)

Fruitcake - the edible doorstop :)

Hey I like fruit cake! If you outlawed it then I'd be sad *grin* Have a blessed Sunday,

Aunt Marge just sent me a fruit cake. She makes them. They are incredible! Come on over and have some. You'll be a fan!

I agree.

Hey, that's a bandwagon I have no problem jumping on. I hate fruitcake!

You poor, poor, misguided souls. Obviously you are not eating the fruit cake that is soaked in rum for six weeks prior to cutting into it. Honestly, you won't care what the little fruit pieces taste like.

ah wow yes i have heard story of said cake...but never tasted it...so yeah.

but yes i have about 20 issues on CCM taped to my wall...bad idea lol

I've never had fruitcake until last year. My mother-in-law made it and she's UBER sensitive about her cooking skills so she insisted I try some and as usual, curiosity got the best of me.

I've never really been a good actress or liar, but I put on a performance that day! Now it's time for the truth. That stuff is HORRIBLE. It's too sweet & I hate, no...LOATHE cloves! No one EVER told me that it had cloves.

So this year, I will nicely decline (& hurt her feelings) rather than eat it & try to portray feelings of satisfaction or worst case scenario, actually barf (& hurt her feelings) Either way, she'll get her feelings hurt-but my stomach won't be lurching, so I'll be happy!
