Please, No Fruitcakes

[zekest]

I like the "inexpensive" fruitcake the best. I once tried "gourmet" fruitcake, but without the candied fruit, its a no go for me. My fruit cake has gotta have that green, orange, and yellow fruit in it.
I love Taco Bell, hate Baja Fresh. My taco has gotta have "that" Taco Bell fine ground meat.

Jane Parker fruit cakes are great,but fairly expensive.Many years ago I bought them at A&P.Now they're sold online.

I love fruitcakes. I also have had a couple thus far, but always room for more.

fruitcake is the haggis of desserts.
i'll take a hot biscuit sandwiched with a cold sliced vidalia anyday.

Think that says it all for me.

Haggis good! Fruitcake bad! Of course, after years of playing goalie without a mask, a few of my teeth are man built and do not handle sticky or chewy very well.

Count me in with the fruitcakes. Claxton, homemade, liquor-soaked -- I love them all.

In honor of all here, whether haters or lovers of the fruit cake, I'm eating a big piece right now.

I have a friend sending me a cake his Parish makes. Hopefully will be here in a couple of days.

Hello Tarheel, Can you check to see if the parish has any fruitcakes available? 8)

 

[tarheel1]

I will ask. I think they charge around 15 per but not sure. I should have actually bought more than the one he is giving me.

Collins street is about two hours from my house. I hope to get up there soon to try some.

I also love a moist fruitcake, if it's dry and crumbling then forget it. Warm up a moist fruitcake and serve it in a bowl with custard ... yummy

 

[mcitinner1]

@toby...Interesting idea with the custard, is that homemade or store bought or even a frozen custard? I have a loaf type of "Gramma's" fruitcake that would be good warmed up I think. 8)
