Splendid Table host Lynne Rossetto Kasper talks about the history of fruitcake, and the idea of sending it to others.
It's time for telling a popular Christmas tale: no, not the one about the Nativity, nor Santa, nor even Ebenezer Scrooge. No, it's the one about how there's only one fruitcake in the world, and it's been slowly circling the globe for years, constantly passing from friend to friend.
