I can't say that I like all of it. My dad was fond of getting that really
cheap stuff in the tin. Not sure they even make that any more. It had no
cherries or pineapple and very few nuts. Not even that much fruit. Just
some citron and too many raisins which gave it a burned taste. It was
always really dry too. If that's all anyone ever tried I could see how they
wouldn't like it.
