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.

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.

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.

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.
