Fruitcake does anyone like it - just wondering? ???
-
I don't care for the traditional dry, mostly bread fruitcake but I do like the gourmet fruitcakes that are more dried fruit and nuts than bread. They usually come in square shaped logs and you slice off servings. I think Hickory Farms makes them.

I font like fruitcake, Not liking the smell.

It would make a great doorstop.

That's hilarious! Or a storm bunker!
Actually though, my dad LOVES them!
-
Gross!! Let's take hard, dried up fruit and try to make it edible by sneaking it into a cake. No thanks.
-
:o No lol but everyone's answers were hilarious. My grandma who has long since been passed away (don't think it was caused by a fruitcake but one never knows) liked fruitcake enough that she actually bought one every christmas and it was the old fashioned dry as a bone weirdo dried fruit fruitcake. Personally I would opt for fudge or something else for a holiday treat and leave the fruitcake alone. ;)

I love fruit cake, as someone said, not the kind with dried bread but the moist ones with fruit and nuts. My father-in-law used to make the best. Of course, he was a baker.
-
It's okay. Not my favorite. I don't like all the candied cherries and other fruit in it. My grandmother use to make one that didn't have a lot of that in it and it was good.

I don't like fruitcake. I throw them in the trash every year that somebody gives me one.
-
I love it! I have a major sweet toothe though.
-
can't say i've ever been a fan!
all the different tastes and textures just aren't appetizing.
they must be a very old christmas tradition, though.
my granny liked them, and i know a lot of elderly
people who do too.
-
No I have never had it, I do not think it looks all that great! ???
-
There always seems to be a better choice at the time.

I like fruit cake a lot. I have never made one but when my Mother was living she made one each Christmas. They were so good. I buy one every now and then and they are good too. Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.
-
:) No, I don't like it.
-
We had a tradition in our family for years where a poor fruitcake would get wrapped and passed around. LOL. The icebox fruit cakes are good.
-
My grandmother made a wonderful fruit cake. I haven't found anything to replace it but sure would like to. Don't think I've had a decent one since the late 50's.

How does one eat those things? Fruitcakes are simply awful. Yet people continue to make them.

I think the fruit cake has to be done right. I love coffee cake. That should have been the tradition. :) yum.

Never tasted it but am curious on how it tastes
-
My dad loved fruit cake, and we used to buy one every year at Christmas. I would have an occasional slice, but the bulk of it he ate (eventuallY). Once in awhile we would make a fruitcake from a Florida Fruit cake recipe that was more of a white cake with the cherries and nuts; it was less rich and sticky. As for me--it isn't that I don't like fruitcake; it's just that there are a lot of sweeties I like better than fruitcake.
-
I have never had fruit cake but I don't think I would like it. It doesn't sound very good.
-
I prefer to make mine. The store bought is not what i call a good fruit cake. I use grannys recipe, But it is a chore getting the fruit ready for one. I don't make one very often but when i do everyone really likes it. I think it has to do with all the fruit soaked in brandy.
-
I've never been a big fan of fruit cake, but as a kid I enjoyed watching my grandmother and mother going through the process of making it and storing it in a white illow case for weeks. :icon_rr:
-
it depends on the baker and how he or she make them

Hi,
I truly love fruit cakes and it is among the favorites of my "best tasting" deserts. I love the cake with a hot cup of coffee milk. When I a eating and drinking this, I feel, so, so, good inside :) :).
