You two should have a party. If you started a "fruitcake donation program," you might never have to buy food again.

No reason to toss good fruit cake - it lasts well if wrapped properly. My husband loves it.

Will fruitcake and Twinkies outlast humankind?

@TheHorse Twinkies may very well outlast humankind but not my beloved fruitcake.

I cannot imagine throwing out fruitcake, as in my opinion, it is such a rich, annual treat. And for anyone who has ever looked at a recipe knows the time and effort it takes to make a fruit cake correctly, not to mention the costs of the fruits and nuts, the cheesecloth and the brandy needed to soak the cake in for those weeks leading up to Christmas.

@marlina Can you eat the store bought kind? I wonder if horses would eat store bought fruitcake.

@marlina that's an interesting bit of information. One of the best things about fruitcake is how long it lasts. Maybe they mean to throw out the fruitcake from the year before.

That is interesting. I never knew there was a holiday to toss fruit cake. And I am like you, my husband and I like fruit cake and would never throw it away.

The fruit cakes sold in the stores are horrible. Better make your own.
