Well, actually, I do know one person who does -- my husband. But other than him, does anyone else eat it? Or do you just throw it away or save it to give to someone else next year?
Or...perhaps you've found a better use for it?
Definitely EAT it .... This often takes months to fully do the job, though.
Why don't you like it, Bandylu?
Too much stuff and not enough cake.
If you gather them all up from friends and Relatives you can get enough to use them as bricks and make a nice little BBQ out in the back yard.
Exellent recycling, fishin'.
Thinking about the subject, I don't think I even know anyone who's ever actually bought a fruitcake. Everybody gets them as gifts -- nobody buys them. That's pretty weird.
Ah, but I like the "stuff".
Especially if prepared by an inspired cook & not store-bought.
I LOVE fruitcake! You just reminded me to take mine out of the freezer for the Holidays! Yummmmmmmmmmmmm!!
I'll nibble at it if it's there, I usually eat around the green bits - what is that anyway?
mmmm, isn't there some kind of jellied bits in fruit cake? Or am I thinking of something else?
Misti -- I've got to ask. How long has it been IN the freezer (I'm guessing since last Christmas)?
See, that's the problem, littlek; even people who like fruitcake aren't all that sure what's in it. I don't like eating stuff when I have no idea what it might be
It's some kind of candied fruit, I think, but I'm not sure what.
Nobody knows what that green stuff is lil k. Some kind of candied fruit, I guess, but I don't recall all that many green fruits, either.

Oh yes, now it comes back to me: those little bright green, plasticky thingoes that look like minature marbles chopped in half. What on earth are they???
fig?
In Brazil everyone buys it but it tastes like children's fruit flavored toothpaste to me.

Nasty little things they are, too!
What do they use them for in Brazil? Sounds like they're very popular.
I think they might be marachino cherries soaked in some green dye......
Actually, I think they may be green maraschino cherries -- I've seen them in jars in the food store (they look much better red). But then I'm not really sure.
msolga -- you call them 'plasticy' and you still eat fruitcake?????
Those little chunks of "stuffs" are all dried friuts.. figs, dates, apricots, currents, etc.. Yuck.. Nasty stuff..
And then there are the nuts!
