Fruitcakes
“We
posted
a pic
of ‘fruitcake’
on our pages on 081220. If I’m not mistaken, several years ago you told me that
fruitcake is one of the most common re-gifting items. Am I, a Japanese, right?
I’ve found fruitcake goes well with green tea because fruitcake tastes like ‘yokan’,
traditional Japanese bean paste jelly cookie cakes.”
American G: “… Regarding fruitcake -- I like it, but yes, people often joke
about fruitcakes that are many years old being re-gifted each year.” 081223
American W: “I agree with him on Fruitcakes. I think they used to be popular
gifts but few people actually liked them. Today, I don't think fruitcakes are
given that often as gifts. They are now considered to be kind of a joke gift. I
haven't had a fruitcake in many years, but I do remember actually liking one
that I tasted. Have a Merry Christmas!” 081223

は、昔は、ポピュラーなギフトだったようです。現在では、上記しました二人のアメリカ人の言うように、あまりギフトとして使わないようです。
