Fruitcake

Interesting and a bit disappointing item in the news about the oft-maligned fruitcake.

It seems the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) will not put it on the prohibited list of things you cannot take on the plane .... as they do not consider it a WMD (weapon of mass destruction).......

Re: Fruitcake

There is fruit cake and fruit cake nasty dry stuff at one end and a rich moist delight at the other.

If the best dried fruit is used, washed/steeped in brandy/ mixed with a buttery cake mixture to which is added nuts, spices and citrus, a fruit cake can be something special.
