I like fruitcake. If I found this 100 year old fruitcake in excellent condition, I'd have to try and eat a bite or two. http://news.nationalgeographic...ke-scott-terra-nova/ ____________________________________________________ New and improved super concentrated me: Proud rebel, heretic, and Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal.

I love history. I love fruitcake. This is right up my alley... sampling a piece of history. I must say though that some beer made about 20 years ago from yeast from a few thousand years ago tasted terrible. ____________________________________________________ New and improved super concentrated me: Proud rebel, heretic, and Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal.

I have the same conversation every year with my wife- she buys me a fruitcake for Christmas and as I start to eat it, I say "Fruitcake is the ultimate survival food" and proceed to list the reasons why. She says "You say the same thing every year." "It's still true", I say.  | |||

"Almost edible" "There was a very, very slight rancid butter smell to it, but other than that the cake looked and smelled edible!" Then they got to work on it: "they have added stabilizing chemicals to both tin and cake in preparation for returning it to the Antarctic." I'd forget about tasting it. http://www.iflscience.com/edit...ngly-well-preserved/ “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | |||

Mmmmmmmmmmm fruit cake. At least my mom's. To bad she's not around to make it anymore. Her fruit cake was great, I never understood the hate for fruit cake until I had "store bought" fruit cake. Then I knew how it got it's bad repatriation. My granny made great fruit cake also, I guess that's where my mom learned to make it right from. Mmmmmmmmmmm fruit cake..... I miss Christmas with my mom.... ARman | |||

Wait, you mean there is more than one? All these years I thought it was just one fruit cake that got passed from person to person.

Let's see- three fruitcakes a day for 365 days times for 36 years... Yeah, let's call it an even 40,000 fruitcakes. | |||

"Almost edible" is pretty much how I'd describe a fruitcake made yesterday so having one last 100 years in the condition seems situation normal to me.

Alton Brown's fruitcake recipe is the bomb. Takes some effort to make and it isn't cheap but it is worth it. And yes, it would store forever and be a great survival food. | |||

I think I read somewhere that Vikings had fruitcakes for wintertime and long sea voyages. Who doesn't want to be like the Vikings. Well , except for the stomach, tumor and entrails stuff I mean. ____________________________________________________ New and improved super concentrated me: Proud rebel, heretic, and Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal.

That's funny. I bet the bourbon casks were bone dry though. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Fruitcakes have a much larger variance between how good good ones are and how bad bad ones are than most other types of food. I really like good fruitcake. Bad fruitcake is horrible. Let's not even talk about terrible fruitcake. | |||

I also love fruitcake. I have ever since my Grandmother and Aunt would home make it for the holidays. It isn't Christmas w/o it. La Dolce Vita | |||
