IDK if I innocently stepped into some double entendre or if you gals just hate raisins for some reason, but really now...either way...if you finally found some CHOCOLATE CANDY that Tibs likes, you can at least rejoice a bit. 'Cuz dang.

I remember years and years ago and aunt used to send the traditional fruit cake to our home, and just looking at it took any appetite I had away.....far away......those red things in it just made me cringe.

i have to concur, gracie!

You do realize those cakes were designed to be soaked in rum too....

I sense a common theme

but is it Jamaican rum?

 

[AttyPops]

I suspect, Gracie, that those fruit cakes were originally designed to get you snockered. Now-a-days, some Puritan probably took all the fun out of 'em.

A few bites of that stuff and you didn't care what color anything was. And....lol....it was a way to preserve the fruit for the Winter holidays.

It was probably the locally produced variety. Let's look it up.

If a fruit cake contains alcohol, it could remain edible for many years. For example, a fruit cake baked in 1878 is kept as an heirloom by a family (Morgan L. Ford) in Tecumseh, Michigan.[8] In 2003 it was sampled by Jay Leno on The Tonight Show.[9] Wrapping the cake in alcohol-soaked linen before storing is one method of lengthening its shelf life.[10]

Fruitcake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tibs, the Caribbean variety was soaked in Rum, so maybe. Also in the Bahamas.

I guess there's a lot of variety by culture and the history goes WAY back to ancient Rome. The "recent" availability of inexpensive sugar for high-sugar-content further acted as a preservative.
