Does anybody here actually like fruit cake?

It is always mentioned as one of the worst gifts ever received. I swear I don't know 1 person who actually likes it.

Obviously somebody somewhere must eat a crap-ton of them to keep these fruit cake companies in business.

i think it's an old people thing. every year i try a piece because for whatever reason it looks good. then i'm quickly reminded it sucks.

i came home drunk one night and pulled one out of the ice box with a tub of cool whip and ate the whole fricking thing.

wasn't that bad. might have been because of the cool whip, though.

sometimes after taking that 1st bite i think to myself that this tastes pretty good, but that thought goes away quickly after the 2nd bite.

My parents like fruit cake, they used to eat one every Christmas when my dad's aunt made them. I've never tried one myself, though.

I do.

Every year for Christmas we get a Collin Street Bakery DeLuxe Fruitcake. It's delicious.


FYI...you do realize you're supposed to soak the fruitcake in rum or brandy, right? I mean it's pretty darn good with just a slice of butter melted on, but liquor makes it so much better. It's an old tradition that people have forgotten about.

Btw, never made my own fruitcake...I've had crap store-bought fruitcake and it sucks, but Collin Street Bakery kicks butt.

Merry Christmas.

I do not like fruitcakes as a rule.

This is the only place that can redeem the fruitcake reputation. I get one every year and they are legit.

People who say they don't like fruitcakes have not, for the most part, tried the good ones. Those you pick up in a grocery store suck. CollinStreet makes a good one as do a couple of others. And, yes, the good ones are soaked in booze, are moist and have fresh tasting fruit. You owe it to yourself to try the good ones at least once.
