Fruit Cake: A Christmassy but Unappetizing Tradition

Fruit cake is known for its strong association with Christmas, but it has gained a reputation as a food that nobody likes. Its dense and dry texture, combined with the perception that it is often unwanted, places it in the lower tiers of Christmas treats. While some may enjoy the traditional German-style Christmas cake, the American or British fruit cake tends to be less appealing. Whether it's a classic case of a premeditated down-under plunder or just a spontaneous act, stealing a van full of 10,000 donuts in Australia is a true food heist. This audacious act of hot pastries theft adds a touch of excitement and intrigue to the holiday season, even though the practicality of offloading such a large quantity of perishable goods remains a challenge.
