TECUMSEH, Mich. -- Morgan Ford poses at his home in Tecumseh, Mich. with his family's 125-year-old fruitcake, baked by Ford's great-grandmother Fidelia Bates. Ford, 83, is taking the fruitcake to Burbank, Calif., to share a piece with Jay Leno on "`The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Ford is the caretaker of the fruitcake, which has been handed down through generations. (12/22/03 AP photo)

A 125 year old fruitcake? Darn, I wonder what the alcohol content of that thing is.

[The Great RJ]

Good (sic) fruitcake is typically infused with brandy or rum. Perhaps if it were squeezed and the well aged liquid were to be consumed with the rest thrown away.

Of all the ideas of what to do with a 125 year-old fruitcake, and YOU want to use it to TAKE-A-BITE-OUT-OF-TERRORISM!?

I like it. Where can we find more 125 year-old fruitcakes?

"Barney Frank doesn't look a day over 80."

OMG! Could it be the rum preservative or the "therapukic" visits to his local spa?

That is probably one of the last surviving K Ration cakes ever baked. I inspected a bunch of them while I was on active duty that were baked during the Civil War. With a little bourbon or rum, they were quite tasty.

125 years old? Dude, that is just plain NASTY! Everyone knows fruitcakes are only suitable for indoor soccer.

When my ex-wife's great aunt died, we cleaned her home and found a piece of her wedding cake - from 1913!

It was, uh, stale.

Mother of all fruitcakes! :~)

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe ! Here is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw 'old fruitcake' ...

[dixie sass]

Bourbon, Rum, Civil War, Fruitcake, ummmm, goooooooooood.

Grandmomma and Aunt Ethel would bake them and soak them with rum or bourbon for about six months. They hid in a safe place 'cause we never found them and we always looked...

They tasted, giggle, so gooooooooooooooooooooooood!!!!!!

Then there was the Plum Pudding with (sighhhhhhhhhhh) Hard Sauce. I loved that!!!
