Fruitcake is THE Christmas baked good. But... why? Fruitcakes are by no means a favorite holiday dish, so how has it ended up at Christmas dinners for the last few centuries?
Hear the story of an ancient loaf of fruitcake that survived a trip to the South Pole, the decadent fruitcake eaten at a royal wedding, and how fruitcake has endured for so many years.
Food History is a series from Mental Floss where we dive deep into the culinary stories that lead to the food on our plates. If you have an idea for a dish, cooking technique, or cuisine that you’d like us to explore in a future episode, tell us in the comments.
And for the origins of many other foods, check out our episode of the List Show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mTpr...
