do you like fruit cake?
« on: November 21, 2016, 11:50:36 am »
So many people give this as a Christmas gift, but I think they are nasty and wouldn't buy it for anyone unless I knew they loved it.

I've only had fruit cake once in my life. I was younger and I don't remember it tasting all that bad. It was over 20 years ago so my recollection may not be all that accurate.

I love cake and I love fruit but not put together like that.
We were given one once and my mother used at as a door stop for a few days then gave it to the birds! :turkey: :turkey: :peace: :wave:

I do think I am the only one in the world that enjoys the partake of the fruit cake in holidays. They are so expensive to homemake them.

I like it but depends on WHO makes it.  My sister in law does one that is delicious, she puts the fruits on the food processor, so they are not big and nasty, and her fruit cake comes wonderful, but some of the other cakes are nasty.

I've never enjoyed store bought fruit cake much, but I think it's because I'm not all that fond of those large dried cherries. They just taste like cherry flavored plastic to me. However, I do make a fruit cake which is really nice, consisting of bananas and avacados which are pulverised in the food processore - they just add flavor and help to keep it moist. Then I add pecans and occasionally finely chopped figs. I sprinkle it with some sugar and decoratively add some pecans on top and it comes out looking fantastic! I like to slice it and freeze it so that I don't feel in a rush to eat it.
