What is So Terrible About Fruitcake?

Posted by Mitch45 on Thu Dec 22 16:30:28 2011

I've always wondered about this. Why does fruitcake get such a bad rap at Christmas? My mother used to make fruitcake for Rosh Hashanah (when Jews eat sweet fruits in the hopes of being granted a sweet year to come) and it was great.

What's the inside story?

If you don't eat fruitcake right away, (and nobody does), it turns into an oversized hockey puck.

I'm not sure that it means the same thing to everyone. Did yours look like this and have alcohol in it and was it kept in the closet for a couple of years before you ate it? That was my experience with fruitcake and it was a horrible experience. I was practically traumatized.

When fresh, and homemade (or from a bakery) they are good. But the prepackaged ones are so packed with preservatives and assembly line that they are about good for a doorstop.

Secret to good fruit cake is to keep it moist. Once it has dried out, it is, as your wrote, raw material for hockey pucks.

I find that dousing the cake with liberal quantities of my favorite distilled beverage works very well in this regard.

Are these the real kind of anchovies that are served on pizza in pizzarias that serve non-kosher pizza? Or are they pseudo-anchovies, kind of like Bacos are fake bacon bits.

If anchovies are kosher, I wonder why I have never been to a kosher pizzaria where anchovies are offered as a topping.

Fish are kosher if they have fins and scales. Either Mitch doesn't know what an anchovy looks like, or he doesn't know how kashrut is determined. Either way isn't good.
