Fruitcake?

[thoriphes]

I know some of you hate fruitcake and maybe a few of you don't. I personally love it. But what eludes me is why so many people don't like it. What do you particularly like/hate about fruitcake?

I bring this up because there is currently one sitting on my dining room table.

I like them (-:

yucky

[nobody]

I've never actually had it, and sort of want to know what the negative hype is all about.

[Jasninder]

i hate them coz of backstreet boys :P

weird answer right:bad: u ll know what i mean.

[McGiver]

how could someone waste fruits for that.
I wouldn't say I really hate it's taste, but it destroys both the materials used for the cake.
you could have made a fruit salad and a nice cake (without fruits) without it. And it doesn't really taste good.

I think it's something like raisins. love them or hat them. I hate them.

by the time they get into fruitcake, they really aren't "fruit" anymore...

Actually, nicely done fresh fruitcake is quite nice. On the other hand, old dense super sweat, soaked in Rum to hide it's age, fruitcake should be used as foundation material for new buildings only...

I've never had fruitcake. I was looking for an article; a guy traveled to someplace and a took a couple weeks and he only ate his mother's fruitcake. i obviously couldn't find the article.:ne:

but i did find this, just thought it was kinda funny:

i dont like it for several reasons:
the texture is icky IMO
its way too sweet for me. i prefer natural sweetness in fruit or something to cakes and candies and such in general, so something sooo sweet makes my toes curl
i dont like dried fruit too much, and i hate rasins, so its like, ugh. again, i love fruit, if its fresh. but it just gives me the willies all dried and baked and brick-ified

Yuck, fruitcakes. They have this type of cream that makes me wanna vomit. Really. And then the combination of oranges with that cream, actually makes me vomit. YUCK !

[McGiver]

nice, but it's old, and where is the fruitcake.
edit: oh, ahhm... ok... I found the line with the fruitcake :P

[RenaissanceGirl]

I have tried fruitcake a number of times and hated it each time. It left a really weird aftertaste that I didn't like at all. And I, too, am not a fan of the texture. Oh well... maybe I haven't had any of the good stuff...

[Coppertop]

Fruitcake - one of the few creations to come out of my dad's kitchen that I sent back. I say we make a wonderful list of all the things you can use fruitcake for.

A hammer
A doorstop
A threat (ex: If you don't finish your dinner... I'll make you eat fruitcake!!!!")
Collect a few from around the neighbourhood and use them in combination with a hammer (or another fruitcake) to make an excellent coffee table
Carve with diamonds and you will have a frisbee!
Make large flat ones and you will have snow tires. (For car or bike)
Candle holder (it's flame retardant!)
