I used to love fruit cakes and eggnog but haven't ate/drink these in many yrs.
The thought just pop into my mind since it is the holiday season. I haven't crave for them yrs.Dancing Fire, I am really impressed tat you gave your own opinion in this thread! Thank you for sharing.
Apparently you have fruitcake and eggnog on your mind,. maybe you should sample some again this year and see if you feel you have been missing anything.
Happy Holidays!

We don't make fruit cake in our family, but we do have stollen every year, which is kind of similar. I like it, but my husband didn't grow up eating it and hates it. Eggnog, I'm not crazy about. I don't drink, so I've only had the non-alcoholic kind you get from the grocery store.
Omg Missy! I forgot about egg cream! I loved it! Do they still make them?At one of my jobs decades ago they used to give all the people who worked there fruit cake at the holidays. I admit I loved it. But then again I had a sweet tooth and almost loved anything sweet. LOL.
As for egg nog nope never.
Warning...
But egg cream? Yes of course. We live near the original Juniors and grew up with egg cream. I mean I was born in Brooklyn and that just might be the egg cream capital of the world...
And many many many years ago when my dh and I were just boyfriend and girlfriend I got him a Juniors egg cream kit as he (not being from Brooklyn originally) had never ever had an egg cream. Imagine that. So I got him a kit but I am not sure we ever tried it though...
Haven't had either egg cream or fruit cake in decades. Don't miss it. But sweet memories thinking about those days. Thanks @Dancing Fire
