I'm not a fan but my Husband and Mother are!! They certainly shouldn't look like that one in the picture though - gag. They eat theirs with a slice of cheese - I'll just have the cheese please

For many, fruit cakes are a part of family traditions.
It is sad that you do not like them.

Wrong! Fruitcakes are the best! We used to have fruitcakes made by my Grandmother loaded with nuts and citrus.

A poll I presented here on AR revealed an overwhelming number of member LIKE fruitcake. They would each the fruitcake received as a gift. Was not even a close contest.
Here is the link to the poll.
It is possible Pee Wee is not a good source of actionable information.

My parents gave an annual Christmas party and always served fruit cakes, which never got eaten and became the family joke. Other than colorful, they are not edible.

I've always hated those. Plus, tons of calories. I don't get them either.

Don't know sir. My mother used to make them every Christmas and I just hated them. Now I wish she was here to make me one.. I would eat it all and savor each bite.
