Last year's Christmas pudding - ok to eat this year?

[itsnotswimming]

Got some fancy Christmas pudding last year as we were meant to spend Christmas day with friends. Obviously, ended up at home and since we don't really like it, it remained unopened.
The best before date says April 2021. Do you think it would still be ok to eat at Christmas?

It will be far better now, i always buy mine now for the next christmas, it allows it to mature better.

Absolutely yes. It really will be better this year than last year.

Oh really? Fantastic news 😊

That's good to hear. I also have an out of date one!

Agree with PP yes it will be fine. We always buy extra after christmas raedy for nextyear

Yes

Yes. My mum sometimes brings out a 5yo Christmas pudding

Absolutely, make some holes add a bit more booze.

Oh yes eat it !!!

Completely fine. I always buy my Christmas puddings in the January sales!

I think we ate one that was 8 years out of date once. Slightly shrivelled but soon plumped up again with lashings of Brandy!

I tried this but DH eats them.

I would. My DGM always had loads out of date and they were fine. We had one from last year that my bf threw out because of the potential for food poisoning; ridiculous man.

Thank you all! Very happy to hear this because I hate wasting food as it was quite pricey as well 😊

I hope you enjoy it
