I actually liked the original old fashioned fruit cakes. Not the kind they do now. I was always skeptical on the mince meat also. thought why would i want a pie that is minced meat, never realizing at that time it was basically a spiced apple-raisin. SOOOOOOOOO GOOOD. but can't get them now. I think because a lot of people never really understood what they were and stores got to where they didnt sell a lot of them so they just quit.I've never tried it.My grandma used to love the stuff,i just took took her word for it that they were good,i couldn't build the courage to try it haha,especially after she told me fruit cake was good,and i mistakenly tried that,i didn't trust her word much after that haha.
