Well! The lack of fruitcake in SEC territory would explain the "southern speed" disparity! :tongue2:

Since CCI i and LadyB are a family now, it's only fair that they have to share the first bite(they'll thank me later, I'm sure):tongue2:

Lots of good people are given fruitcake by some misguided soul, so what use do you have for it?

Sending UPS? BTW thanks Uncle Taos

As campaign food or sympathetic magical symbol!

[FONT=Times New Roman,Georgia,Times] Food scholars date fruitcake back to ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire. According to some historians, Egyptian fruitcake was considered an essential food for the afterlife and there are those today who maintain that this is the only thing they are good for. In ancient Rome, raisins, pine nuts and pomegranate seeds were added to barley mash, making the fruitcake not only handy and lethal catapult ammunition, but also hearty compact foodstuff for the long campaigns waged by the conquering Roman legions. Centuries later, during the Middle Ages, preserved fruits, honey and spices were added, bumping the status of fruitcake up from granola bar to decadent dessert.

"Pickled" or "aged" fruitcakes, as their devotees (and there aren?t many) like to call them, have the legendary ability to last a long time. Crusaders were said to have packed cakes into their saddlebags and backpacks, presumably because there were few bakeries along the rocky road (the road, not the ice cream) to the Holy Grail. Panforte, a thin chewy fruitcake originating in Italy more than a thousand years ago and taken on The Crusades, is still made today.
The history of fruitcake is also closely related to the European nut harvests of the 1700s. After the harvest, accumulated nuts were mixed and made into a fruitcake that was saved until the following year. At that time, the fruitcake was consumed in the hope that its symbolism would bring the blessing of another successful harvest.

Yay google search!

Not! Rats are smarter than you think! Most given fruitcakes can be "stored"
safely in the basement for precisely that reason! :tongue2:
