A friendly reminder to Americans: your fruitcake is bad, get the imported stuff.

You too can have a delicious fruitcake that is soft and moist and you actually enjoy eating

@Merus I finally understand why the Christmas specials of so many US shows have a gag about eating the fruitcake.

Still don't understand why the US has bad cake though.

Although lack of a good rich fruit cake might explain much.

@DaveHiggins I wondered the same thing! It turns out brandy is really important for a good fruitcake and American recipes don't use alcohol

@Merus That would explain the lack of moistness and flavour.
