This should be required reading, from the beginning, for anyone who questions silliness here.

I love fruitcake.

I know for a fact that there is no one true fruitcake as every fruitcake that has crossed my path has been promptly devoured.

Lightly toasted with an overly generous slathering of salt free butter....heaven.

Oh that's not what you meant...?

I spose, like a good play, this was due a revival.

Only if we can get the understudy Black Forrest Cake to take over the lead role.

ha ha! i've never even seen a fruitcake in my life, but after having been fed amounts of silliness, i'm now a firm believer that fruitcake will, one way or the other, show you heaven

I just watched the first hour of that movie just the other day. Couldn't find it in me to finish the flick.

Now that I think of it, it's true that I've never actually seen anyone eating fruitcake. I've seen people claim to eat it, I've seen fruitcake with pieces cut out, but I've never seen it being eaten.

Fruitcake is one of my favorite food groups! The best is when my mother makes it and soaks it in brandy for several months.

tekla · June 14, 2011, 02:22:49 PM

Drink the brandy, toss the cake.

Sephirah · June 14, 2011, 02:27:54 PM

Hmm...

I genuinely can't believe that no one in this thread has even considered the possibility that:

The cake is an ally

Taka · June 14, 2011, 02:55:07 PM

A poem about brandy in not quite the style of Ogden Nash.

Of Brandy
I am not a fandy
But of rum
I can gollop quite a lot and it makes me feel very happy and warm inside but them churns up and ejects through my mouth and out my tum.

Padma · June 14, 2011, 03:18:25 PM

I was afraid of where that was going to end...

You mean like the one about the Man from Nantucket.? Though the Irish priest from New Delhi is pretty good too.

Pica Pica · June 14, 2011, 11:37:58 PM

But the cake was so dense
