As an Italian, I love fruitcake. It is a heavenly dessert for me. But everywhere I go, I constantly hear how people hate fruitcake. A poll showed that 50% of Americans claim fruitcake as their most dreaded Christmas gift. People say the candied fruit looks and tastes like rubber. They say the raisins look like mouse turds. I find that all these fruitcake haters have never actually tried it. They joke about passing it on to relatives they don't like. I need to hear from some serious fruitcake lovers out there. Please tell me I am not alone. Am I the only person on Earth who loves fruitcake? Whether you love fruitcake or not, tell me why.

Just look at it!!!It's like...tons of fruit inside jello?? It sort of reminds me of throw up. Sorry.I've never tasted it. Maybe I would like it if I actually tried it, but I can't get past how it looks.

nope. i can't say that i love it but i enjoy having it. i once got a fruit cake from someone and it was great. i think i ate the whole thing by myself. i especially love the walnuts and raisins. also i think it makes a difference in the recipe.
