Agreed. My Bad. I was always told though that the uninformed didn't know 
anything, the ignorant don't SUSPECT anything. Just a little joke that 
colored my perceptions. 

I always try and approach a new skill or task with the "Fool" mindset, as in 
the fool of the Tarot deck, so admitting to ignorance is no problem for me. 
However, saying one is uninformed doesn't push nearly so many potential 
buttons in somebody you don't know then saying their ignorant IMO. Just my 
"uninformed" opinion.

Speaking of fruitcake, anyone have any period examples I may be ignorant of? 
Or was it all puddings in period?
