TCF Cookbook is now AVAILABLE!!
« on: January 03, 2007, 08:01:06 pm »

Some folks disdain the little lumps of weight, they sneer at the lowly fruitcake.

Why I ask? Why?

These little brickish loaves are chock full of the kind of surival stuff that Epic tales are made of.

Walnuts, Cherries, Pineapple, Butter, Rum, Grain of some sort, why if they had named them "emergency survival logs" people would order them by the case full.

They last forever, I can honestly say that after 3 years in a longterm storage device (a metal tin with with a design on the top of it) they taste the same as they did when they came out of the oven.

So do not turn your back on this cake with the approximate density of a Dwarf Star, become the "Fruit Cake" maven of your area, it may save your life in a tight spot.

The lowly Fruitcake, long may you be regifted...... :laugh:

You are probably right.

I've eaten some pretty wild shit but fruitcake just puts a knot in my gorge.

I love fruitcake.  Especially, my mom's homemade fruitcake.  She even used to make fruitcake cookies that were awesome as well.

Never understood why so many people dislike it so much...

Growing up ( a matter of opinion to be sure...) we used to be the recipients of orphan fruitcakes, with a little margarine on them they were edible at least.

Has anyone ever seen a spoiled fruitcake? I haven't and we had some for 2 years or so.

Good idea padre!!!  I'll have to see if I can find any I like the taste of - ie not too loaded with sugar.
Should be the right time of year to get a good deal on them too! :laugh:

Okay! Now all you people who've been wondering how you could get out of your grey cubies and find yourself a gulch business -- there it is. Make your fortune in "emergency survival logs."


And padre29, you can make your living ghostwriting my columns for me. You have the gift (and I don't mean the gift of fruitcake).

I don't know Claire, some of my best friends think I'm a fruitcake, so I know of what I speak....

Uh-oh. 

Does the suitability of fruitcake for survival food use mean that there will now be a Fruitcake! thread in addition to the Twinkies! thread?  :ph34r:

Once upon a time, when I visited a southeast Asian area, I was instructed not to ask what I was eating.

I didn't. :huh:
