<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">My mom's fruitcake would
keep for months in a cool place, but always got eaten to the last crumb
in the end. Aside from all <br>
the fruit, and just enough cake to hold it together, she's soak it in
apricot brandy. Now there's fruit! Apricots! <br>
<br>
Never could stand anyone else's, after that. <br>

<base href="x-msg://43/">I want to know why they call it fruit cake
when there is no cake in it? The one's I've gotten look like pressed
fruit, but I can't find the cake :~).

<div>Besides, from what I understand, there is only one fruit cake in
the US, (which may be all fruit or all cake) which has been re-gifted
from the beginning of time.</div>
