Androgynes: For or Against Fruitcake

[Pica Pica]

rum peaches? sounds good. I got some nectarines and a bit of Captain Morgan somewhere

[Doc]

Have you got a syringe and a needle? Inject small boluses of rum into several sites inside the peach. You don't want a huge pocket of the stuff. It does help to put the peach away for a while after you've given it its medicine, so that the rum can get distributed about a little inside, but you will want to eat it the same day.

[Pica Pica]

i've got everything in need except a syringe
oh well, its in my head now and it's not coming out

[Pica Pica]

Is it decided yet?

[Nicky]

50/50.

I suspect fruitcake is the reason for the decline of family values. This could be a good or bad thing don't you think?

[tekla]

I blame fruitcake for the fall of Rome.  Either they had it, and that caused it, or they didn't and that brought the empire down.

[Pica Pica]

can't argue against that one

[Nicky]

iron clad that is

[Vexing]

Pure Evil.
Cake and fruit should never mix.
Pie and fruit, different story.

Pie and fruit, different story.

I don't get how you can be as nutty as a fruitcake yet I have made lots of fruitcake without nuts. So your saying I'm not crazy?

[Pica Pica]

today i cooked a pie with fruit and meat together

So you took a pie, some meat and some fruit, bunged them together and cooked it? That sounds terrible.

Anyone ever made a tomato pie? I have a feeling it would be really good.

I also do not get the Nutty Fruitcake thing.
Or is it because everything these days contains traces of nuts?

[Pica Pica]

it does, but it was very good - i used pork and apple and some onions..and then a bit of wholegrain mustars, creme fraiche and an egg whipped together as a top instead of pastry. Was quite scrumptious actually...but i like fruity meat.

I think it is to do with fruit cake looking like it has already been digested, and after seeing Austin Powers I now know that poo tastes kind of nutty so putting one and one together the phrase basically is likening you to a ->-bleeped-<-. Pleasant.


Your pie sounds grand pica. Sounds like deconstructed deviled sausages in a pie. I was thinking along the lines of Tamarillo and chicken. Would be a pretty color but probably not taste the best. Made a Tamarillo pizza once and it looked like an open wound. Would have made a good desert pizza but I had not added any sugar or custard or similar

LOL, this thread has resurrected from the dead...

Fruitcake, The Sequel coming soon to a theater or theatre near you.

I'm still against it

[Nicky]

seriously a thickened tomato pie where you bite into it and drink out the insides like tomato soup, that would be great!

I'm not a big fruitcake fan but I'll eat it if it is there. I like it best when it has plenty of sherry on it. I'm not a big fan of marzipan icing, my mum makes wedding cakes and I had my fill of the stuff growing up. Plus after working with cyanide in pest control the almondy marzipan reminds me of it's smell and kind of puts me off.

aparantly some people can't smell cyanide - some sort of gene thing like tongue rolling.

[Vexing]

Ah. Almondy smell.
I think you hit the nail on the proverbial.
Almonds are nuts. Icing on fruitcakes. Nutty fruitcake.

[Nicky]

Holy smokes Batgirl! I think you've got it.

[tekla]

Almondy smell.

Interestingly enough, cyanide has a faint almond smell, on the bitter side, but almond just the same (don't ask how I know) so I'm thinking now that people who give you fruitcakes are trying to kill you.
