Years ago my Mum was cleaning out my Grandmothers kitchen cuboards when she decided to move into a retirement flat
Mmum found a large Mrs Peeks Christmas pudding
so she took it home.That Christmas she decided to use it for the family dinner
When she was taking the wrapper of noticed the date told her it was 5 years out of date
But becauce this was Christmas day and no shops were open then on Christmas day
she used it telling no one, my Dad said it was the best Christmas pudding he had ever eaten.
The following year just before Christmas, Dad said dont forget to get another pudding the same as last year, so she went out and bought a very expensive pudding but it was not a patch on the other one. Every Christmas for years we would hear the same message
She never told my Dad the saga of the Christmas pudding ,
she only told me after he died
