I've actually never had any kind of fruitcake. I can't eat dried fruit anymore, so I doubt I ever will. Am I missing out?

It seriously depends. There are dry fruitcakes and moist ones, ones studded with nuts and chocolate and ones just filled with fruit. My favorite takes on the fruitcake are the light, soft Italian panettone and the bread-like German stollen. Especially when the former is laced with chestnuts and the latter filled with marzipan.

Hah!
