That's alcohol abuse.It's great stuff especially if it's got lots of booze in it.
No.Never fruitcake. I already have enough doorstops.

That was from a famous Johnny Carson segment from, I think, the ‘80s: “The worst gift is a fruitcake. There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other.”As for fruitcake, well, rumor has it that there's only one fruitcake on the face of this earth. And people just keep giving that same fruitcake to other people, who keep giving it to other people, who keep......and so on.
We have a monastery here in MO too that makes and sells fruitcake...Assumption Abbey.I believe theirs run $35.I've never tried one but they look beautiful.I don't like what usually passes for fruitcake, too much candied fruit. I have very rarely had good fruitcake. It is expensive and time consuming to make and very expensive to buy. It is a moist heavy and boozy cake without the overwhelming flavor of candied fruit. There is a monastery in Kentucky that sells fruitcakes The Abbey of Gethsemani. Of course being in Kentucky they use bourbon which isn't a favorite of mine but they are good. They are also expensive. A 2 1/2 pound cake is $40 and a 5 pound cake is $80.
That's rather arrogant. Most people know that a lot of people don't like fruitcake.Ugh, my boss would give me her homemade fruitcake every year at the holidays. No, thanks!
