In defence of fruitcake
When you are old(er), what do you think children will ask you to tell stories about?
I have no idea. Maybe about when I lived in Israel, if I start the ball rolling with a funny story or two.
This one is mainly for North Americans (I think this lot of questions comes from Canada).
January 3 is Fruitcake Toss Day. Do you like fruitcake? Why does it get such a bad rap?
I have no idea, you weird lot - I love it! Fruitcake is delicious - rich, moist, and so good! Fruitcake is not just for Christmas, but for all year round. It is also the traditional wedding cake here with marzipan and royal icing, unlike those pale, light, sweet sponges you lot seem to have with loads of creamy icing, sorry, frosting - according to TV, anyway. You couldn't post a piece of that to absent family.
Or are your fruitcakes really horrible, hard, dry things? If so, why do people still make and sell them?
