The "Two Fat Ladies", on the UK cooking show said one should never let an American near a pumpkin, it appears that this axiom must now be broadened to include that masterpiece of the culinary arts, the Fruit Cake.
How anyone can possibly produce one which does not cause one's tastebuds to leap in orgasmic delight is a mystery to me. Even the humble Lions Club Christmas Cake, once released from it's metallic prison, is a joy to behold as it presents itself to one, in all it's sultana-laden glory, redolent with the aroma of a fine Scotch whisky.
Truly, you are among the deprived of the world if you are bereft of the this veritable King of Cakes.
