Do you? Who, in your opinion, makes the best fruitcake?
If you don't, you can send your doorstops to me. I'll douse 'em in rum, brandy or bourbon and then have them with a cup of tea.

I remember my sister made one once many many years ago. The ONLY thing I actually remember about the process, is the wrapping and unwrapping of cheesecloth, and the pouring of booze.

I can eat it if I'm hungry enough.

I like fruitcake if it is moist enough and soaked in rum or brandy. I do not like a dry one.
The problem is, if I eat one then since there are only 5 fuitcakes in the world that keep getting passed around as a gift, someone has to bake a new one somewhere to make up for the one I took out of circulation.

I love fruitcake. I also know that I'm in the minority. Most people laugh at it and hate it.

I like the flavor of fruitcake but not the texture.
Have you ever tried pannetone, Nathan? Delish. Same sort of flavors, but lighter texture. -

The general dislike of fruitcake seems to be an almost uniquely American thing - I don't really understand it. In Europe different styles of fruitcake are widely available and enjoyed throughout the year.
