I'm not exactly sure why, but a couple recent posts made images of fruitcake pop into my head. Anybody got any good fruitcake pics??

Actually, I really do kinda, sorta like the stuff. :lol:

i believe that the words good and fruitcake are contradictions in terms. Did you know there was a 4th wise man? He brought fruitcake and got himself written out of the Bible!!!!!!

If you want the best ones, go to the UK around christmas, purchase the Scottish season pound cake specialty, cover them in aluminum foil and you will see real fruitcakes arrest you for transporting a bomb in Heathrow airport (true story) It was said afterward, by red faced official, than it had triggered an alert as it had the same density as C4...

Bon appétit! (When you out of jail and some guy had destroyed the evidence of course).

Well, I have used C$ and trust me, you want to wash your hands after using the stuff, it is oily and gives an after taste to your already disgusting MRI (french army),

I'll take your word for that. I've never used C4 and I've never tasted an MRE/MRI. When I was there we still had the good ol' C-Rations. I still have my original "John Wayne" P38 can opener.

But as my wife is fond of saying: "¡Todo es bueno cuando tiene hambre!" (It's all good when you're hungry).

;) :thumbup:

She did not have dried french cheese in a can and stone carved biscuits...

Enough of that, I am going to lose my appetite just thinking about and tonight I am supposed to make dinner.... :(
