haertig Pooh-Bah Registered: 03/13/05 Posts: 2322 Loc: Colorado	Wow! I just learned something new today. There ARE people who actually like fruitcake! I always believed what my grandmother once taught me, "Sonny, there are actually only seven fruitcakes in existence worldwide. And they keep getting recycled and given as second-hand gifts over and over each year. These original seven have been circulating since before I was born."

My dad says the same thing after he's had a few too many pieces soaked in brandy. _________________________ Mom & Adventurer You can find me on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT9fpZEy5XSWkYy7sgz-mSA

Hikin_Jim Sheriff Pooh-Bah Registered: 10/12/07 Posts: 1804 Loc: Southern California	Originally Posted By: bacpacjac So the powered foods thread has me craving fruit cake. Tastes delicious but it also seems like it could be a good survival food. I never thought of it that way before. I've got some tins to store it in but are there any other tricks to storage for non-immediate consumption? I've also never made one before. Any secrets to share - chefly, survival guruish, or otherwise? Thanks! Fruit cakes also make good weapons. A thread on fruit cakes. I love it. HJ _________________________ Adventures In Stoving

A combo of little cake, trail mix and alcohol, the stays good to eat for a long time and can be used as a weapon.
