I'm not a fan a shortbread although I s'pose it would go well with coffee... Now Fruitcake is another matter altogether; I love a good fruitcake and I don't understand why folks diss them. I would not necessarily recommend fruitcake with coffee

Someone mentioned rum -- one of the conversations we had here was when we should bake the New Year's Rum Cake. It will be gone before New Years If you are looking for a survival food, do not choose Rum Cake
