Another of the great divides of American culture: the fruitcake. Now, I must admit, I love a good fruitcake. Of course, I have a pretty hardcore definition for what counts as a good fruitcake. The one I make (which is a variation on Alton Brown's free range fruitcake) is, if I do say so myself, damn good. Most commercial fruitcakes I've tried are frankly lacking. Enough so that I understand the popular belief that all fruitcake sucks.
Of course, I am totally down with any fruitcakes made by a monkey.

Oh my yes do I love a good fruitcake. My Aunt M. used to make some ass-kicking fruitcakes. One year my Aunt N. (who shared a house with Aunt M.) made the big big mistake of givin away an Aunt M. fruitcake that was meant for Aunt M.'s boyfriend. Bad bad bad bad bad.
