Janelle Brown  confesses her love for fruitcake

Taking to her Instagram on November 12, Janelle Brown shared a photo of a store-bought fruitcake. Her caption noted, “Maybe this will be one of the most controversial posts I’ve posted for a while 😂. I confess, I think I may be the only person in my sphere that likes fruitcake.”

And then she asked her TLC fans if she’s
“the only one?” Plus, she commented on the long shelf life. But she feels, “Granted it’s shelf life does make it seem a little suspicious, but whatever, I still like it 😀.”

Well, a long shelf life possibly comes from all the surgery, fruity contents. The Daily Meal notes that the US tradition came from the UK. But, the Romans made a fruitcake of sorts that sounds rather unpalatable. Called “satura,” the ingredients included “pine nuts, barley mash, pomegranate seeds, raisins, and honeyed wine.” But Janelle is not the only one who never gave up on fruitcake and some Sister Wives fans also enjoy it.
