Fruitcake

Does anyone actually eat fruitcake? Yes or no. I tried it once, round at Sean’s place. There was him, Heather, Heather’s friend something Mary, and Andrew was there, of course. Mary wanted to know, is that legal? There’s no law against it, said Sean, with all the bravado of a 19-year-old. A large square block of this stuff was actually just there on a plate. It was very sticky, with sultanas big as our googily eyes. No one in those days called it [fruitcake]; our code word was ‘Christmas’. It wasn’t for me. Never touched it since. Amazed you ask.
