My husband and I love fruitcake. We’ve been eating it since childhood. It’s especially good if you learn to make it yourself.

(I blame Johnny Carson for badmouthing it on TV and creating the popular notion that it’s lousy.)

I will eat fruit cake and would someday like to try an expensive high quality one.

The C-ration fruit cakes weren’t really fruit cake as you know it which is why everyone threw them away, but I needed them for the calories.
