Author Topic: Fruitcake NOT Fruitcakes!! Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-28-2000 09:20 AM                        Several months ago we discussed "grits" - now tis the season for everyone's favorite holiday treat - Fruit cake !! Call me weird, but I like the stuff. Anyway I told my wife I wanted the "Ultimate fruitcake", "the best there is", "just the right mixture of fruit and nuts". The Collins Street Bakery in Corsicana, Texas bakes the best there is - so she asked if they had a web-site. I said, "Sure they do - go to www.fruitcakes.com, and order me a big'un". When I got home from work, I was "firmly" informed that "fruitcakes.com" had plenty of "fruits, nuts & big'uns" - but NO holiday baked goods!! The correct address was www.fruitcake.com - singular NOT plural !! Hard lesson learned.... pardon the pun!!  |  IP: Logged Ky Boyd Hey I'm #23 Posts: 314 From: Santa Rosa, CA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-28-2000 03:59 PM                       Oh the joys of the web. Be careful what you ask for...for you just might get it. I'm sure those boys have recipes, but the one you are looking for.  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 11-29-2000 12:03 AM                     You're right about Collin Street. I generally consider fruit cake a waste of good ingredients but Collin Street fruit cakes are the very good. The rest taste like shit and would be best used as baseball bases.  |  IP: Logged
