Fruit Cake is a horrible obsession to have.

As long as the fruitcake is NOT soaked in rum and does not use raisins as the primary fruit, I'm with you all the way. I'm even on the Claxton Farms mailing list. I get a brochure about this time every year.

I'm afraid of fruit cake! I've heard so many bad things about it that I've never had the guts to try it.

I'm also very afraid of fruit cake. It has a mighty big reputation!

With all the food related tags lately, I am giving the Tag Fairy all my fruit cake for Christmas!

My name is Sparx and I have a problem. I am addicted to the fruit in fruit cake. I have mangled many a piece of fruit cake pulling out the hunks of fruit. -tear-

I have to have fruitcake, too!!!!!!!!!!!


Afraid of fruitcake? Why? Are you afraid of ketchup? Are you afraid of bologna? If you knew exactly what was in everything you eat.....you'd starve to death! Sometimes ignorance IS bliss.

OK, I have to admit I don't understand all the comments about not liking fruit cake. Here in the UK fruit cake is a big thing. Do we use a different recipe to you guys as all my family and friends love fruit cake. Every year my mum makes a traditional Christmas fruit cake which is yummy (actually she has to make several for various family members.) When I got married I had a traditional 4 tier fruit cake as did all my family and friends. The cake my mum makes has various mixed fruits in it and is soaked in rum too. It is very moist yet not too soggy.
Where I am from in England it is traditional to eat your fruit cake with a slice of Wensleydale cheese (kind of white and crumbly.) As that is how we serve fruit cake my southers friends have ended up trying this over the years and now all my friends have cheese with their fruit cake too.
It's a shame I can't send some fruit cake and cheese to you all that my mum makes as I am sure you would change your mind when you eat it.
When I am in WDW on Chrstmas day there will be 3 things I am going to miss: 1 - My mums christmas cake, 2 - some Christmas pudding with rum sauce, 3 - Not having a christmas cracker to pull before my christmas dinner.

According to legend, there are actually only around 100 fruitcakes in the entire United States. People just pass them around. A tradition known as "regifting". According to the same legend, nobody actually eats fruitcake either, otherwise the number would eventually drop to zero.
