Absolutely. The only proper fruitcake is fruitcake so drenched with whiskey that it drips like an over soaked sponge. Then you strike a match and make a wish.

I swore I hated the things for years. Then a couple of years ago a friend, who is a chef, made us all little individual fruitcakes to take home. He made his own boozy fruit instead of the nasty "candied" stuff.
It... well, it opened my eyes to the potential of fruitcake. If all of them were as tasty as this one, fruitcake wouldn't get nearly as bad a rap as it does.
It was pretty damn tasty, and I found myself a bit sad at his holiday party this year, when there were no baby fruitcakes to take home and devour.

Look at fruit cakes as survival food. You won't eat unless you are positively starving.

Fruitcakes are for fruitcakes. Or something.

I was wondering what was missing from my December diet this year. Fruitcake. The kind that's wrapped in crinkly saran-wrap with the red cardboard holder on the bottom, and that comes in 'light' and 'dark' varieties. With the red or green maraschino cherries on top
To wit, what is a maraschino anyway???
Mmmm, fruitcake.

I like Grandma's brand, if that's the one from Kansas City...?
The best is I think what seawall is talking about - the dense stuff with red cardboard plastered on the bottom. Just like when I was a kid! (I mean the fruitcake - I didn't have red cardboard plastered to my bottom)

Kim you checked Husky Deli lately? I hear you're over on the west side there now.
