And this is where the chef slaps you for being “fresh”, Ziggy.;-D

1981 that wouldn’t be fruit cake. It would be a brick with red and green spots on it.

Ed, Edna worked really hard to make that thing for you! Did you even give her permission to share it with others?

1981 IS fresh. Now 1881 is probably past its “use by” date.

I heard, one time some time ago, that there was only one fruitcake ever baked, and that it is still circulating around the world today.

What did the chef cut it with — a chainsaw?

That chef looks a bit like Mel Sharples.

I guess I’m the person who loves good fruitcake. Not the cheap ones at the dollar store, though.

Just telling my wife yesterday that I’ve not seen anyone selling fruitcakes.

“Fresh fruitcake” is something of an oxymoron anyway. My childhood friend’s mother (we are still close friends nearly 60 years later) used to make fruitcakes that she aged in either rum or brandy for nearly three years, soaking them with booze once a month until she felt they were ready to serve.

With enough rum, its always fresh.

And that one was ‘re-gifted’ by Aunt Edna…

Good Lord.. is that is where my Aunt Edna’s cake ended up?

It’s fruitcake. How much do you think it has changed in 38 years?

Hey, I like fruitcake!

Perfectly aged now.

If i find chocolate in a pocket from, let’s say last year, I eat it. Its not any worse than eating seafood. Ha Ha

Don’t be surprised if he charges you extra because it is “aged for almost 40 years”….
