We love getting a traditional fruitcake, usually a brandy one.

Mmmmm!

Fruitcakes are very handy. They make great car stands and/or wheel chocks. ;)

I believe that the biggest disappointment I ever had in my life was the time that, unaware of the tradition, I attended a wedding and reception in Canada. I had been craving sweats all day for some reason so I couldn't wait for the regular meal to be completed so that I could have some of that cake.

IT WAS FRUITCAKE! I almost cried. Didn't they want their guests to enjoy their meal? Who came up with that? Was it a cost saving measure since there would be so much left that they could use the remaining cake for the next wedding? Was it so that the bride and groom could save the top layer until their first anniversary and not even have to refrigerate it, much less freeze? Some things defy explanation, I guess.

Moral of the story...Don't get married or witness someone getting married if you are in Canada. It will all start off very badly.
