      I never liked it before Atkins. Obviously I dont eat it now anyway.

      My dad loves fruit cake however.

        The only part I don't like is the green things, never could figure out what they were so I picked them out!

              yeah.. there's green things... usually it's either cherries that are colored green.. just for the effect... or sometimes that citrus stuff....also artificially colored...

                Could it have been Lime peel?

                      I liked fruit cake, and they are colored, candied cherries or pineapple. I like mince pie too.

                        Could also bee greenfood colored dried papaya or watermelon rind pickle? Anyway it must be true those fruit cakes last forever: Grandmother had some in her freezer - brother ate it when we were cleaning out her apartment after she passed - it was dated 1979
