Have you ever eaten fruit cake?

Yes, I love fruit cake! It's not Christmas to me without it. Come to think of it, I haven't had one this year. I don't understand why it has such a bad name. You say that you've never tried it, so how do you know you don't like it?

Always hated it when I was a kid (my grandparents always gave us one for Christmas, which seemed to weigh about 10 lbs.) We all tried to avoid eating it. Now I like it, it's sweet and fruity and has rum in it. Maybe it's just because I've gotten older... maybe I'll like rocking chairs in a few years, scary thought...

I love it!...lil pricy for what u get...but soooo worth it!...has to b dark though.

nope never have eaten it, i thought i would answer yours since you answered mine. thanks.

I finally tried one last year for the first time and it was disgusting!!! Blech!!! It had green cherries in it and i figured they would be good but boy was i wrong!!! Maybe this year i will try one with out the green cherries huh!!!

I am actually one of those people that enjoy a piece of fruit cake with a hot tea. However, much like eggnog I only like it during the holiday season, after that I don't go out of my way totry and buy them.

I personally don't like fruit cake, we always have it in an abundance at Christmas, everyone always serves you frueitcake, I don't mind it if it has custard all over it but I am a chocolate cake sort of person....:)

I did n't like to eat them in my childhood but like to eat them specially i like to eat them with tea in the evening tea time. What's bad in liking them???? Why do u amaze that people truly do like them?? They r good and nice in taste and i am eating them daily now-a-days. Try them and hopefully, u'll enjoy eating them.

I have eaten Fruit Cake. I don't think it's that bad. I wouldn't eat it all the time but it's not as terrible as people make it seem. My father absolutely LOVES it!!! He gets a loaf every year!

i love fruit cake eat it all the time. My wife makes it a year in advance and puts it away for the next year its a tradition in our house to mark the beginning of christmas by opening last years cake and it is beautiful

I see and hear about it all the time during Christmas. But most people don't like receiving it as a gift. I like cakes made with fruit. But never tried the famous "fruit cake" we all know about.

I love fruit cake, my Mom makes about 10 of them eveyr year. They are awesome, I don't understand the mean jokes about them. I would eat them all year around if I could.

i've eaten a fruit cake the taste isn't that appealing to me. i always get it as a gift for christmas. i have no choice but to eat it. some i would give to the neighbors.

I eat the ones my family makes. With enjoyment

I hate them, they are awful tasting to me. Sticky and yuckie.

its not that bad

Fruitcake is a cake made of dried fruits and optionally candied fruit, spices and nuts that may be soaked in brandy or rum, the richest versions (possibly iced) often being used in the celebration of weddings and Christmas. Yes i have eaten much times fruit cake, have a great day on mylot!

Heheh..ya I've heard abt the fruit cake joke..last night I was watching a show on food network on tv, that people who gift fruit cakes aren't welcome at all! The main reason being it doesn't taste good..hehe..but they later showed a good recipe for fruit cake. There was an old lady who has had her fruit cake for over 20 years!!! Can u imagine that. But a fact remains,that if good ingredients are used and the fruit cake is stored well it will remain good for 25 yrs! Talk about preserving food!

I have eaten fruit cake but I sure won't ever again ..I don't care for the taste of it ,nor biting into something I have no clue what it is ...mystery fruits ...lol Why haven't you ever eaten one ???" Ain't Scared " are you ??? ...lol

I think the big joke came about because of the life of the fruit cake. The older it is the better. Here in the Philippines, fruit cake is quite expensive. It's a very rich dessert so it will probably last a long time in your fridge. I like it though. All those nuts and sweet fruit!
