But I don't care, I love Christmas time fruit cake, I'm nutty.
If anybody gets a fruitcake for a present and you don't want it, mail it to me.

I like fruitcake too. Nobody gives it any more and I’m the only one in my family that likes it. So, I catch a miniature one after Christmas at a discount.
That was a really pukeworthy line up.
When I was a kid I hated mince pies.
But...I had an aunt who made these mince pastries and the mince was inside the most perfect crust I have ever had.
I actually liked them.
Fruitcake rocks.
The bakery in Corsicana (Collins Street) makes the best.
I love great fruitcake. There are several. There is a fruitcake company out of Texas that was good.
No, mail it to me. I’ll pay you postage and time/fuel.
We do lasagna for Christmas dinner. Sometimes a rib roast.
Figgy pudding, mince tarts, party loaf and fruit cake are all tasty when made properly. Like everything else, when made improperly they are about as appealing as articles written by Mary K Cahill.
Candy Canes, which come in a variety of flavors if like DH you suffer from a mint aversion, are both pretty and tasty and while hot Dr Pepper is not "pretty" it is a tasty winter treat.
Hot Dr Pepper with lemon is on the list, but it’s one of my favorites! Best with Dr Pepper made with real sugar, but that’s hard to impossible to find in my area these days.
I love fruit cake.
When I was kiddo in GITMO back in the 60’s, groceries were pretty awful. Milk was blue because it had been frozen and refrozen before we got it. Cereal was very old.
One year, some congressman in Louisiana sent a ship load of fruit cakes in round tins. They were practically giving them away at the Navy Commissary. My parents picked up a bunch of them and soaked them in rum. (We could get rum.) They were good for several years. I can still taste a rum-soaked fruitcake.
Have ever had an Orange Slice cake? Made with orange, slice candy? I make it for Christmas instead of fruit cake.
I add a shot or two of whiskey.
Harry and David,
Fruitcake Confection
Now it looks like they have one with even less cake!
Grand Fruitcake Confection, LOL.
It weighs more than the classic…
And more fruit and nuts!
Well, I would certainly weigh more, Hah!
THE Best for this family, in our pre no gluten days.
Tatt
I still need to figure out how to make a prune trifle burrito….
Does anyone out there know what cartoon show mentioned that?
Haha!!!

Some more nice fruitcakes!
Hint! hint!
I can go for the fruit cake and the minced pies. A friend of mine once made the old-style minced pie with meat: venison that her father had shot. It was outstanding. I haven’t figgy pudding but would try it.
Once I shellacked/varnished a fruit cake I received as a gift and used as a doorstop for 2 years before it began to crack.
That Christmas Candle Salad needs some walnuts added to it; it might make a return in blue voting areas.
The only thing sadder than a melting snowman is a collapsing cottage cheese snowman!
Have you tried Wal-Mart’s bakery fruit cake? It is the BEST!
You can have my share.
