New uses for Fruitcake.

Apparently, fruitcake is illegial to bring on airlines.

Discuss.

You could hide explosives in fruitcake!


I dunno.

Probably he weight.

So far, I hear it's that it either blocks X-ray or it's difficult to identify in scans.

There's only one good use for fruitcake:

I've never had fruitcake.

I watched so many food network shows about it during christmas time, I really want to try fruitcake now.

I've heard it's terrible.

It's got bits of fruit and mincemeat in it, methinks.

I know a guy who has a fruitcake for a roommate. It's a pretty sweet deal. He gets free haircuts, and doesn't have to do his own laundry or dishes.

>< REAL fruitcakes, not poser fruitcake.

I have heard the rumor that there really is only one fruitcake in existence, and everyone just mails it to each other in an endless cycle...

American Pie.

Well, I mean you could use it in the same manner, if you so chose.

Although I think of fruitcakes being rather hard and crunchy.

O-o No... it wouldn't be right.

It would be sacriligious, for one thing.

You've been severely misinformed. Half of the time, I don't even do my own laundry or dishes.

You have been sadly and terribly misled.

A good fruitcake is a thing of magic, especially when it has the crunchy icing on and has been allowed to sit for a few weeks.

Have you ever had mince pies (not meat type mince, but the mince that is just made of dried fruit) or christmas pudding?

Yeah, it doesn't go off, it's too dense and not enough moisture for that, but obviously you want to keep it in an airtight container anyway.

Traditional christmas cake icing needs at least a week to start setting properly, it should be really hard with nice soft marzipan underneath for contrast.

Only if it's made with crappy flour and fruit; the ones I get from Collins Street Bakery are absolutely delicious.
