I actually had a slice of fruitcake once that was incredibly delicious. My girlfriend at the time explained that it did not contain citron, which seems to be the ingredient that makes most fruitcake taste so nasty. It makes sense: I love fruit, I love cake, and I love good booze, so a combination of those things ought to be pretty good, right?

There's a conspiracy, I just know it. Somewhere, there is a group of people hoarding all the GOOD fruitcakes for themselves, and foisting the nasty ones on the general public to make them think that's all that fruitcake can ever be!
