I'm reminded of the "folk" song, the Song of the Temperance Union, by the Chad Mitchell trio. One verse went, "We never eat fruitcake because it has rum, and one little bite turns a man to a bum. Can you imagine a sorrier sight than a man eating fruitcake until he gets tight". There's more, but .... I'll stop now.

Last night I served a Dundee cake (technically a fruitcake since it's full of raisins, orange zest, and orange marmalade), and everyone at the table complimented it, even my husband, who doesn't like fruitcake, and two granddaughters who were skeptical (one I think doesn't even like raisins). So, small victory for "fruitcake."
