Fruit cake?
In the US, the fruitcake has been a ridiculed dessert. Some blame the beginning of this trend with Tonight Show host Johnny Carson. He would joke that there really is only one fruitcake in the world, passed from family to family. Carson is no longer alive but the tradition lived on with "The Fruitcake Lady" (Marie Rudisill), who made appearances on the show and offered her "fruitcake" opinions.
Reply:I, for one, really do like Fruitcake!! My favorite is made with crushed graham crackers, pineapple bits, cherries, and pecans.
Reply:Fruit cake is great, I don;t know why everyone makes fun of it. I guess it just sounds like a degrading thing to say to someone....

Reply:nope, fruitcakes evil
Reply:Yes, fruitcake has been in my family every Christmas of my life. I love it, but most people don't. The secret is to not load it down with too much of the fruitcake fruit that you buy at the store. use more raisins and real marischino cherries instead of the fruit cake cherries. Also too, you need to heat up some applesause and add baking soda to the applesauce to make it foam up and brown. That makes the cake more moist and dark.
