Fruitcake yes or no

It is time for that seasonal debate: FRUITCAKE

Yes I Like

or

No I don't.

What is your choice?

Mine is I like it.

I also like it.

This will be the year that the world's landfills will reach capacity with the seasonal onslaught of uneaten fruitcakes. The overflow of landfills will cause the planet to tip over on its axis and all hell will break loose.

Thus fulfilling the ancient Mayan prophecies five days late.

Yum - fruitcake is yum, especially with peel, nuts and cherries!

My favourite tradition of the holidays was making the Christmas cake...
We'd start the end of August or beginning of September making a really rich fruit cake with lots of sherry and brandy. The cake would go in a tin up on top of the panty, then every week the cake would get another glass of the sherry and brandy up until two weeks before Christmas (traditionally when we'd put up Christmas decorations, cake would be done the next day) when it would be covered in a lemon curd and then a thick layer of golden marzipan. A week before Christmas the white royal icing is added, and then on the eve of Christmas eve is when the actual decorating would take place. We had a few ornaments for the top of the cake that had belonged to my great grandmother on my mothers mothers side, such as an ice-skating Santa, that either decorated the cake or was placed on temporarily as a ceremonial gesture, we were also partial to edible silver balls and silver glitter too. Best fruit cake ever.

Oh hell no...

Not even if it was bacon flavored.

I can't answer your poll. It depends on the fruitcake. But I have had fruitcake that I adored.

Like it?

I bake it!

What's a fruitcake? I've never heard of such a thing.

I don't like them. I remember a cartoon(maybe it was one of the old Garfield 1s but I'm not sure) where people were giving away the fruit-cake that was given to them & it kept circulating amongst the same group of people for a few Christmases & eventually someone new got it & he used it as a door-stop

NO FRUITCAKE!! !! It tastes like s*** to me.

there's fruitcake, and then there's FRUITCAKE
i like the kind that isn't just loaded with sugar, but actually has real citrusy/fruity flavors, along with the usual rum and butter.

Ugh, no like fruitcake!

Pie is good and fritters are better,
But fruitcake will be fed to my Irish Setter.

I've tasted fruitcake that would have been better put to use as paving stones.

The ones I make are the basic pound cake recipe with nuts and dried fruits. Once baked, I add a few drops of sweet rum every few hours for about a day, then wrap it tightly and refrigerate before serving. No one has ever complained.

I like fruit cake if it's a good quality, and non-alcoholic. I think it's because I don't like super-sweet desserts, and fruit cake is rich but not too sweet. I like mince pie too.
