    I don't know about any y'all,but I happen to Like Fruitcakes.
    I know the history of the fruited beast.It's about as kool to kids/teens
    as a trip to the dentist.In fact I'll lay odds that if Obama promised a fruitcake
    to all those inner city folk and college kids instead of a Free Cell phone
    he would have lost the Election ... Like Big Time.
    That the traditional,heavy fruitcake is a good door stop.
    Maybe it is proof as to one's age.The older one gets the more all the hype
    about fruitcake dissipates and one comes to their senses.Like being Idealistic
    in one's youth and then maturing into wisdom as the years mount.
    I've already finished my first fruitcake over the last week and bought a bigger
    far more expensive one the other day.Boy ... It's yummy.Yes,yummy best describes
    the gooey wonder with glazed fruits and whole nuts all stuck together with
    dark bread the kind Grandma works her fingers to the bone to get just right.
    The kind Grandpa is entrusted with lugging around the neighborhood in his
    big red wagon pulled by Nellie Belle as snowflakes gather, the wind
    whistles,and Deer look on from behind wooded pine,as even the ever cautious
    red fox pops his head from burrowed safety to take notice.
    'Tis the Season for fruitcake.And to All a good Bite

    Many types of fruitcake.The cheapest usually last the longest.
    I've had the german version of Fruitcake or Stollen.Some made by
    friends of my Mother and some bought at a German Grocery.
    I had one from Kroger a couple years ago that was expensive
    and came in a large tin.Bauducco is a traditional Italian Holiday
    cake.It was tricky to cut a slice.But it was good.

    Fruitcake is also a good idea for Christmas.

    Love fruitcake! Im usually the guy standing in the grocery aisle reading every ingredient muttering to myself about poison and how they must be trying to imbalm us all while we're still alive... but when it comes to fruitcake for whatever reason I just accept my fate as a hapless science experiment and enjoy the delicious chemical preservative slurry.

    Everything in moderation ...including moderation ;)
