Should We Get Rid of Xmas Cake?

Maybe just don't buy for your family others like it. We don't get one as only I like it

No, if you don't like it don't buy/make one.

I enjoy them.

I love Christmas cake especially when it's home made and steeped in spirit.

No, I love Christmas cake, especially with red cheese, if you don't eat it don't buy it, Simple

I enjoy Christmas cake if the marzipan isn't too thick. Although we were gifted one a few years ago which was so dry it was eventually given to the birds to enjoy.

I love Christmas Cake. What is not to love about Marzipan, Icing and fruit. Just yummy. Better than a typical sponge cake. At least it fills that spot with a cup of tea.

No don’t take away the only good thing about Christmas! Love Xmas cake and mince pies and Xmas pudding! (And stollen) But You can bin the selection box and chocolate …..

My family like Christmas cake but I don’t. I still say keep it.

The only Xmas cake I've liked is the one my friend made. Sadly, she has rheumatoid arthritis and doesn't bake anymore.

Basically, she soaked all her fruit in brandy 2 month before . It was the one

Nooooo.... I adore it and only buy fruit cake at Christmas.

We love Christmas cake, but it's usually just too much at Christmas with all the other sweet things around also , so invariably it takes us days to get through one.

Yes, I hate dried fruit.

no

No I love it

Never bothered with it. No one likes it in my family.

Yeah i’m not a fan either tbh but i know a lot of people who do like it. I think it’s an old school dessert that older generations love

Nigella isn't the law on what people eat is she? I don't like Christmas cake but I certainly wouldn't expect other people to not have any. I despise mince pies, should we get rid them too? What about Brussel sprouts?

Why should this even be a topic to discuss?

Why should we get rid of it? It's personal choice

I love it but now being the only one i buy a slab one which is around £3 so i am not eating it all the time which i could as i love it

I used to enjoy Christmas cake but find it way too heavy now but my mother is still going to make one anyway. I told her nobody in the family likes it.

If we got rid of everything certain people or families didn't like then there wouldn't be anything left

It is a bit heavy but still really enjoy it but its best as a Christmas only treat. Same as Dundee cake which I also really enjoy and also only eat around Christmas.

I’ve never been a fan of it but I don’t see that as any reason to get rid of it

Its fruit AND its Cake - what's not to like. Id rather lose Nigella than lose Christmas cake.

Oh I love Christmas cake and royal icing, it's just the marzipan that I really do not like. However I have a partner who loves marzipan!

So we say NO don't get rid of Christmas cake

I love Christmas cake and so does my mom. For years I have made Mary Berry's Christmas fruit cake which involves soaking the fruit in sherry for 3 days before it is baked then feeding the cooked cake once a week with rum, whisky or brandy whatever is in the cupboard for a couple of months before covering in marzipan and icing. I give it to my mom on Christmas day, she has a slice every day and gives a slice to her visitors. It's that good I am loathe to try another receipe.

If you don't eat it why bother. My mum makes them for those who want them. I don't eat it but my oh does

Depends if you like it or not, I don't like it but make one every year for me mum and me bloke, even done me own Clementine and conyac jam for it this year instead of buying apricot jam

Simples really, If you like it eat it and if you don't then don't eat it.
