"There's a fruitcake for everybody, there's a fruitcake for everyone."
Fruitcake, Eraserheads
- For you aliens out there in Galaxy A640, Cluster 8, the fruitcake is yet another concoction brewed in the uncanny minds of the denizens of planet Earth meant to amuse and befuddle the human stomach.
- Fruitcakes may contain pine nuts, the ester counterpart of which (here comes the ester freak) is bornyl acetate. But of course with cheap nuts, there is no need for even cheaper ester alternatives.
- The spirits referred to in number 1 are not the imaginary (or not) energy entities we inhabitants of the planet Earth are so afraid of, instead,
"Honey is a sweet fluid produced by honey bees, and derived from the nectar of flowers. Honey gets its sweetness from the monosaccharides fructose and glucose and has approximately the same relative sweetness as granulated sugar.3"
Somehow, honey still has this distinctive tang to it that is simply irresistible to the senses. Somewhere at the back of my mind, I can remember sweet, honey-filled (literally) childhood memories. Side note: Well at least I've had a decent and normal childhood. I've had my share of mataya-taya (tag), patintero, sungka, and the like. Somehow the idea of playing online sungka hasn't the same feel to it as compared to playing the real game. Wii Sports tennis doesn't live up to half of what real tennis offers. Get a life, children of the 21st century, and go outside to play the real stuff.- I don't like fruitcake (not that it matters to the world anyway). Do you?
"Fruitcake is a cake made with chopped candied fruit and/or dried fruit, nuts and spices, and optionally soaked in spirits. Fruitcakes are often served in the celebration of weddings and Christmas. In the Middle Ages, honey, spices, and preserved fruits were added and the name "fruitcake" was first used, from a combination of the words "fruit" (Latin: fructus, Old French: frui), and "cake" (Old Norse: kaka, Middle English: kechel).1"
"A distilled beverage, liquor, or spirit, is a drinkable liquid containing ethanol that is produced by means of distilling fermented grain, fruit, or vegetables.2"For some weird and bizarre reason you aliens cannot possible comprehend, the human race has always had this relentless fetish for alcohol since the time of Adam and Eve (the first humans). Why drink something that can damage their livers, you say? I know, right? The human race is so freakin' weird. We sure are one peculiar species.
