Default Fruitcake in Marmite terms
Seeing as we’re gearing up to the big day. Where does everyone stand on fruitcake - harmless tradition or reviled for good reason?

I just shoplifted two of those from John Lewis.

I looked like I had tits walking out the store.

Fruit cake all year round in this house.
Christmas cake served with Wensleydale cheese is just the best.
We tend to go daft and stock up on the Xmas cakes, they freeze well.

Smashing! and I've got plenty left over for sandwiches and maybe a turkey curry. You can't beat a big bird.

Turkey should be appreciated more than it is year-round. Can’t beat a turkey sandwich.

Fruitcake has been the bane of my life for years. I'm convinced it started out as a foolish prank at some poor soul's birthday party and some bastard said they liked it.
