I know I wouldn't find it funny if my neighbor gave me this, but sitting here, that is friggin' hilarious, Barb. What an @$$h0!*.
Fruitcake - yes, gross. The word "cloying" comes to mind. But if we transmute what we are thinking about into German Christmas flavors, now THAT can be the yummiest. Not fruitcake, but still dark rich cake with ginger/nutmeg/cardamom/cinnamon goodness, and little citron bits. Somehow a world of difference.

What comedian was it - George Carlin, maybe? - who said he thought there was really only one fruitcake in existence and it just kept getting regifted year after year after year. If I ever get a hold of it, I know just who to give it to - an ex-neighbor who likes to "exchange gifts" with me every year so she can get something new and give away something she already has and doesn't want. She doesn't even bother to make the boxes look unopened anymore. I've told her we really don't need to exchange gifts any longer and that she can just send us a card if she so desires and her answer was "I hate cards. I'd rather give you something." Apparently it's too much effort to just throw the unwanted item away or to say, "Hey, do you want this roasting pan/CD/bath soap I didn't want?"

that was johnny carson that said that, and he also said if you do get one its the best regift in the world, because they last for years and years, also suitable as a door stop
sagebrush:
I love good fruitcake and have always wanted to taste a rum or bourbon fruitcake such as was described in 'A Christmas Memory'. Any sources? Any recipes? Yum yum...

Toast:
I LOVE a good fruitcake
My favourite is the one with the fruit (nice large pieces) just barely held together with a golden warm-flavoured batter.
almonds on the top
and a nice cup of tea or even a rum drink.
I havent found a good one this year - yet , and it's past New Years.
I guess I'll have to put out the word that I want some next year.
Just a piece or two, and a quiet time to enjoy it.
MMMMMMM
