christmas pud
 
We have got a few Christmas puddings from Mraks and Spencer.

The display date is until 15 Jan and the best before date is 22Jan.

That is only I week, I thought that these things were like wedding cake, in the way that you can keep them for years.....:confused::confused:

Best before isn't hugely significant. It isn't as tho it will turn to toxic waste at midnight on the 22nd.

I agree, however if you don't want to take a chance they'll freeze if you've got space.....
whyever they had such a short date in the first place, though, beggars belief. M & S shame on you:blink:
