Ah fruitcake, another great US/UK divide.

US and UK fruitcake have astoundingly little in common.

Yanks are usually rather surprised to find that Brit wedding cake is traditionally fruit cake and most people stick with tradition. Christmas cake is also fruitcake. Yanks wouldn't like it either, but it's nothing like the stuff it is US holiday tradition to hate. Which is basically sponge with lots of horribly coloured candied peel. I'll pass on both and just grab another beer, thanks.

Is anyone not confused yet?
