Here is Truman Capote's short story, "A Christmas Memory", involving fruitcake. It is a lovely story, as most Capote stories are.

Here, I’ll start the fruit cake. Here is a list of sub headers. What do you think?

Recipes for fabulous fruit cake

I’m in bed sick today, I’ve lost my voice. But seeing I feel well enough to make breakfast at last (4:30pm) I thought I’d ask you guys about the history of fruitcake. Also is it only a Christmas food or can we eat it year round?

Don't know much about the history of fruitcake, but when I got married nearly 30 years ago, we had originally planned on a December wedding, and someone suggested that we have two wedding cakes, the typical big multi-tiered white cake, and a fruitcake. Supposedly, the big white cake is actually the bride's cake, but there was a time when there was also a groom's cake - which was, you guessed it either it actually was a fruitcake, or a cake that was very fruity.

We ended up not waiting until December to get married, so we only had the big white cake. (mine, *all* mine!!! Mwhaaaaahaaaahaaaaaa!!! smiley - erm I *told* you it was supposed to be the bride's cake! smiley - winkeye)

When my parents decided to get married,
they only gave three weeks' warning.
This provoked my aunt, because it was
traditional in that family for the wedding
cake to be a fruitcake. Three weeks did not
give my aunt enough time to bake the cake and let
it age properly (I think aging would have required a
few months. smiley - erm).

I think fruit cakes can be appropriate for Easter as well
as Christmas. I have a recipe for Russian easter bread,
which is really a fruitcake. smiley - drool

Try Hungarian goulash...be careful with the source of the recipe though some (most) are crap.

Wouldn't Hungarian goulash be awfully hard to
frost, let alone slice for the wedding guests?
It wouldn't hold its shape on the cake stand either.

Maybe Hungarian goulash is thicker than the regular goulash that we have become acostomed to.

Yeah thicker. Better when frosted. Congeals..Rench have a name for this... believe marine-aid or close to.
