I've heard some people say they love it and others say they despise, but i'm too afraid to try it because i might not like it.

How can you not like it if you never try it? Give it a try. If you like it, eat it. If you don't like it don't eat it. I too disliked fruitcake without ever tasting it until I tried it. I had heard so many jokes and bad comments about it that I thought I would hate it. Now, I'm a fruitcake lover.

It is true that some do and some do not like it and if you taste one you might like it...but, I will say that my Mother makes a delicious one that is very moist and I have tried some that were too dry and the candied fruit is not good either. Oh, and the one Mother makes does not have rum. You will just have to try more than one. Also, there is a famous fruit cake company in Texas that makes a good one and they are packed in collectible tins. I need to look up the name, I just can not remember now, but I would recognize the tins.

Fruitcake sort of tastes like raisin bread or molasses cookies. Even if you don't like it, it isn't sickening, it just isn't something you will want to eat a lot of. People mainly joke about hating it because so many people used to give it out as gifts to neighbours or have some on hand as an emergency gift.

Try it for yourself, but don't buy a cheap one in one of those tins out of a store. They are dry and gross. Go to a good bakery and see if they have small ones you can buy. I don't like the ones soaked in liquor, they taste awful and smell worse. They are definately a love or hate item. There is only one brand that I have found that I like.

It is dried fruits, heavy syrup and nuts. The texture is coarse and it is really heavy. Some make it with rum....I like that the best when I'm making it as the rum is gone and the cake is still waiting to be made....
It is an acquired taste, kinda like anchovies..

By all means try it or you'll never know. My mom loved the stuff, personally, I don't care for it, but it's way better than liver!

It's not on my list of faves. It's much better if someone makes it rather than buying it at a store.
