The missing fruitcake

THE EAR - The Freeman

January 8, 2019 | 12:00am

GOING NUTS. According to an EAR source there was one thing missing from his dinner table last Christmas; fruitcake. He said business partners and relatives usually give him fruitcake for Christmas, but for 2018 it seems no one bothered to get it.

“Mora man og nagnihit ang fruitcake atong paskoha,” the source said. He added that he even went to the usual bakeries, but none of them offered fruitcake.
