Fruitcake

Maxine made a fruit cake. This is my junk food soulmate, but I'm not sure we see eye to eye on this. Sure, I've never tried fruit cake. But that's the point of fruit cake, isn't it? No one ever actually eats it? It sits on a shelf long past Christmas, into the next year's holiday season, looking a strange brownish color that you might expect from something older than my grandmother, but with weird flecks of red and green. Then you save up enough to use as bricks when you build your biodegradeable, edible house. And one day, we'll all live in fruit cake houses, because where else will all the fruit cakes go?

So, I need to know. Who out there has actually eaten fruit cake?
