Fruitcake

[drjeff]

Just had the 1st (and hopefully ast) one of the year dropped off by a patient at the office. Does anyone actually eat this stuff???? This thing is so solid, and dry and cakey looking that I don't even think pouring a liter of rum on to/into it would make an appreciable difference in it's eatability!

DOH! And here, I thought this thread was going to be about a person!

I don't think I've ever even been in the presence of an actual fruitcake (the food kind anyway), much less eat one. I'd probably try it though, especially soaked in rum...

:30 mark.

The one that showed up in my office this AM, was a homemade one too, not the classical round one that shows up in the red tins.

I'm worried though that even with a very liberal application of rum that all that might happen to this one is that i would have wasted some good rum

Jeff. We all know there is only one fruitcake in the world. It just gets passed around from person to person each year!

So you know the drill. Send it next to Brian!

Got it! I'll forward this one about 50 miles to the West with the note that if consumed that this years version of the "dumper air" will more than likely have A LOT less ground clearance than last years version

Then don't use good rum, or just drink all the rum first and then eat the cake. You probably won't care much about how it tastes at that point, though the next morning may not be pretty...

Is regifting a fruitcake with 1 piece cut out of it okay??? I think one of my hygienists actually tried to sample a piece of it

 

[drjeff]

Just put a pic of the fruitcake up on AZ's facebook page :lol:

Try pouring the liter of rum down your throat first, and then eat the fruitcake. At that point it would be a small task to just convince yourself it's a coffee roll or something better tasting anyway. And you'd be hammered. A win-win basically.

Just issued the following challenge to my office staff. If anyone can eat a 1" thick slice of that fruitcake in less than 5 minutes, WITHOUT any supplemental liquid and keep it down, I'll give them $50. None of the 11 lovely ladies that my business partner and I employ have taken me up on my offer as of yet :lol:

Ack! In my 54 years of living I have met ONE person that actually likes Fruitcake!

I'd take the challenge. To bad your office isn't closer.

Make sure you're up on the Heimlich maneuver Dr Jeff.

My last work group used to have Yankee Swaps every December. I "won" a book, "The Bathroom Reader". I regifted it. It went to a woman. She said "only a guy would gift something like that." I don't think she re-gifted it the next year!

Still no takers in my office. There's some rumbling amongst the staff about them putting up $50 to see if I'll attempt it. I told them if they bump it upto $100 I'd give it some serious thought! :lol:

You would have to add restorative dental work on the clock to the $50 prize.

Ahh, I'd probably just let them walk around with some of those red and green candied fruit chunks stuck in the fracture spots :lol:
