Sorry, I mean, if any of you fine THF'rs are given a fruitcake you don't want, I will pay reasonable shipping costs. We love the dang things. Especially Collins st. Bakery. Holler at me.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

I have not had a Collins Street fruit cake in years. If somebody sent me one, I would not give it up. I may only have a slice or two, but it's mine.

HEB had Colin's Street fruitcakes for $4.99 last year after Christmas. I snagged a few. Might wanna be ln the lookout late December.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

If you go behind the main store in town you can get the “seconds” pretty cheap. But fruitcake is gross.

Old saying….”nuttier than a Corsicana fruit cake.”
Collins Street is the only one worth eating.
I worked with a feller whose wife made little small pecan pies every Christmas. He would bring a bunch to work. That gal knew her pecan pies.

My mother used to make a "no bake " fruit cake that was extremely edible.
