I happen to like fruitcake. My sister HATES it. If I give her one for Christmas, I'm pretty sure she'll give it back. Now I know what she's gonna give me.

I prefer stollen bread over fruitcake. Y E S!! My little German mama ( S Dakota Germans) made it every year, and it's fantastic toasted with a mound of butter slathered over it...and a 20 oz of dark beer.

I like it; had some last night and I’ll have some more tonight. My wife makes fruit cake cookies too 😊
I’d rather have bourbon in my egg nog.

Aye. It's eggnog season and I'm gonna get me some. With whiskey, to boot. The stuff fills me up and I can skip dinner to lose weight. No, really.

I prefer stollen bread over fruitcake. My sis sent me mom’s stollen recipe. I might try it this year. I like it now, but sadly was not a fan as a lad.

Looks pretty good, I'd try it. I'd never had fruit cake till this year, locally there isn't much available that looks good. Saw some Claxtons at a store in town, so I tried it...I was kinda disappointed, and after the first piece was gonna throw it out. Next day I took another little bite.....wasn't as bad as I thought. There was alot of raisins or something like that in it that weren't great. I took them out and it was much better. I ended up finishing the whole thing eventually, and now I'm kinda wanting another!

Pour brandy over the whole thing, then light it! Burns light blue for a while but infuses the whole thing with a wonderful taste.

Just ordered one from Collins Street Bakery, my first from them. Looking forward to see how their fruitcakes are. Used to get one or two every year when I was a kid. Not my thing.
