Just got a Collin Street Bakery fruitcake from my brother & SIL. Lots of folks poke fun at fruitcake, but the Collin Street is pretty good. Especially when moistened with some good whiskey. Serious about crackers | ||

Not a fan, but my wife is. This will be the fifth year, I believe, I have gotten her one. She doesn't drink, so the whiskey/fruitcake thing works out great for both of us. | |||

Collins St is my favorite (I’m a biased Texan though). However, Assumption Abbey out of Ava, MO is outstanding as well. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

I make my own. Light fruit bourbon cake. Not as dense and chewy as a dark cake and the bourbon really smells and tastes great in it. Calgary Shooting Centre | |||

Been having a Collin Street Bakery fruitcake now for 56 years in a row. Send them out to customers and friends as well. Wonderful! ---------------------------------------- “The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.” | |||

I would agree with the Collin Street fruitcake assessment. I liked it enough last year get one for myself after my wife had ordered one for her aunt for Christmas for years. I like Pipe Smoker's whiskey recommendation so I may try that later today or tonight. If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made. | |||

We like the Greman Stollen brand. I find it at big lots or dollar stores. | |||

Forget the fruitcake; drink the rum.  --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!!

I received my Christmas fruitcake from my sister on the 23rd. Made from Moms 100 year old recipe. I look forward to it every year. Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming…......WOW! WHAT A RIDE! | |||

I was always told that the One True Fruitcake comes from Claxton GA. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

I haven’t had one in years, but the only kind I have had was from Collin Street. I used to drive through Corsicana, TX a lot and would pick one up for my Mom each year. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

No,love for the fruitcake from Assumption Abbey? Made by Trappist monks. It’s long been my family’s favorite. | |||

Aldie's had a LOT of them, in different "flavors". I think they were imported from Germany Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.

Indeed it does. All others are imposters.  -- I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. JALLEN 10/18/18 https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...610094844#7610094844 | |||
