I thought they were all the same. (I also thought fruit cake was plum pudding for some reason).
Now all this talk makes me want to sample all three of them.
Am surprised to find that fruit cake is actually liked. Was under the impression that fruit cake is something that's universally detested and just passed around. lol.
I used to think they were all the same thing too. Well panettone anyway (not sure I ever came across stollen up until a few years ago). When I was a kid, my family would occasionally get panettone as gifts and I thought that was the fruitcake that was the butt of jokes. And my family didn’t eat them as far as I remember and instead regifted them or threw them away.
I’m still not sure I ever had fruitcake. In recent years, I have had panettone and stollen from local bakeries and enjoyed them well enough. I don’t know how I feel about the ones that are shipped/imported from other areas. It kind of sounds like stale bread? Or they contain tons of preservatives in order to have a long shelf life?
Harry and David: Definitely not up to the standards of the Collins Street Bakery in Texas. H&D is weak on fruit and nut content and the cakey part tastes too much of molasses.
Live end Learn.
So "Everything's better when it ships free" is not necessarily true.
I accept only fruitcakes from the Collin Street Bakery, Corsicana, Texas.

I am interested in your Harry & David review though.
