Fruitcake - The most popular holiday dish that everyone loves to hate, fruit cake is the reason Christmas only comes around once a year. Where is the fruit anyway? Thankfully there's not much because it's just a glob of sugar candy-coated dried up mess. It's mostly just sugar, flour and heaps of butter; a smorgasbord of calories if there ever was one. So how do you get out of consuming this culinary abomination? Keep the fruit and skip the cake. Just make sure you use the good stuff like fresh berries, oranges and pineapple. Fruits like carambola, dragon fruit and persimmon are readily available this time of the year to lend an exotic touch.
