Anyone still got leftover food from Christmas?

[Yetmorebeanstocount]

We have a carton of long-life tomato juice in the back of the fridge. I had some notion of making fancy drinks with it but never did.
The cheese was finally all finished sometime in March.
Last year we had Christmas Pudding in July because I was fed up of it hanging around in the cupboard - there is a surprisingly long use-by date on Christmas puds. We once bought one labelled "6-months matured" and kept it a whole year, still in date, so had it 18-months matured!

Anyone else still got Christmas food left? (Apart from bottles of spirits which can sit there for decades - obvs).

I used the turkey and ham leftovers to make a pie over Easter.

I have cheese, nuts and pretzels.

Do nuts generally have a long use-by date?

Yes, quite a bit tbh - there is only the three of us over Christmas and New Year and I always get carried away with food/drink. Theres obv christmas puddings, chocs, mincemeat, crackers, chutney etc in the cupboard but also still things that had to be frozen too. I like making a christmas cake, but now I make 4 small ones out of the mixture and give the others away as otherwise we were eating that for months

I've got 4 gluten-free yorkshire puddings in the freezer from Xmas 2022.

About 10 selection boxes
Crackers, ham in the freezer, half a Christmas pudding

Found a pannetone in the cupboard today

A christmas pudding, maybe 2

Nuts, a Christmas pudding, two tins of sweets, pretzels, a gingerbread house kit.

Lots of Christmas chocolate still. Quite a few party-food bits in the freezer as well as a spare gravy and a spare cranberry sauce someone in the depths.

A couple of christmas puddings, cranberry sauce, a handful of chocs plus cheese in the freezer.

We have a Christmas pudding but it will still be in date for this coming Christmas so that's no problem!

Ditto for a couple of jars of chutney.

A panettone which goes past it's best before in May.

A handful of chocolate coins I'd hidden in my running kit drawer.
Frozen gluten free stuffing.

About 500g of Stilton but it is cut into smaller portions and in the freezer.

Jar of mincemeat in the cupboard, it has a long best before, be fine next year

Some (lots!) cooked red cabbage in the freezer, needs eating really, don't have the space to store it all year.

And as always, three quarters of a jar of cranberry sauce which will be mouldy by October. We all like one spoonful as a token gesture. I should maybe freeze it too.

If they are open, the high fat content often makes them go stale and rancid tasting. If sealed, they should last until their best before, if not a few months longer.

I have a partial jar of cranberry sauce in the fridge still. I also have at least 2 Christmas puddings. Not from this year though, but the Christmas before. I once opened one which was technically 4yrs past its best and it was delicious!

Feeling jealous of everyone’s cheese and chocolate stashes! I have 8 breaded prawns from the party food range and a box of snowie chocolate fingers.

Chutneys, various alcohol and a box of mince pies in the freezer which I keep for my birthday in August.

Ate the pannetone last week.
We have Stilton.
And cranberry sauce.

I think there may be a small amount of turkey in gravy in the freezer, we had the last of the beef recently.

A small Christmas cake. I got knowing that everybody prefers other things for dessert but with the sense that if I didn't get it then perhaps I was missing something really essential that might be required to somehow...insure that Christmas was complete? Who knows. It's still there, relegated to the cupboard in the en-suite, looking sorry for itself and I ignore it with the king of guilt I can normally only summon for an overdue library book.

Turkey stock to make soup with
nothing exciting like matchmakers or cheese!

2 litres of baileys and half a jar of cranberry sauce.
party round mine later who’s in? Bring your own nuts.

I did have a large panettone but had the bright idea of hosting an Easter brunch and used it as a centrepiece!
