I was taken a back the other day at my thanksgiving dinner. When I offered fruitcake or pie, no one wanted the fruitcake. I made the off color remark “Good that leaves more for me”. This brought about a discussion of how much people hate fruitcake. It was a very enlightening discussion. Many days later, I have come to some assumptions and wanderings.
It is time for anti-fruitcake haters club. AFHC (that may already be taken)?
Why do people hold onto fruitcakes for a year or more and them recycle them by giving them out as gifts, particularly if the fruitcake is under par and they would not eat it themselves?
Why do people make fruitcake and give it as gifts if they can’t make a good cake in the first place?
If you give a fruitcake for the holidays, does that make you an evil person?
