Fruitcake is the Lamas Bread of our world

[tonym]

I am a man of my word. Because of this I should not have said I'll send you one. Since I did I'll live up to it. Claxton Fruit Cake is the best in the world and it is made here in my home state. I'm going to send you one.

I'm not much of a baker or I might try to make one just to see how it turned out.

Wow, Aeson, thanks! But you neededn't send the fruitcake after all, kind sir. My wife just spilled the beans. I was whining to her about not getting a fruitcake this morning and she told me her grandmother DID make me a fruitcake, but I am getting it as a Christmas present instead of getting it early, like usual.

Yum!

Darn there goes my chance to guilt you into some original art work. Kidding. I'm glad to hear you'll get the cake you've always want. Eat, drink and be very merry. Enjoy the holiday.

Perhaps that's the British way of spelling it.

I always read it as "lembas" as well.

Think of a slightly sweetened brick with bits of various fruits in it.

Interesting.

It does sound like Dwarf Bread.

If you can handle a Filipino pork dish covered in vinegared blood sauce (i.e., dinuguan), I'll eat fruitcake every Christmas.

There's a reason 'fruitcake' is synonymous with 'crazy person'.
