For various reasons Mrs W are apart today looking after our aged parents. My 90 year old mum is moving soon and I'm helping her pack in readiness. She cooked dinner and it was wonderful. Plenty of roasted meat and all the trimmings. She asked if it was up to standard! Of course Mum brilliant to which she replied that she had been a bit worried about the pudding. Morrisons Best Matured Christmas Pudding has had some extra maturing since its best before date in April 2011!!!!!
Even Bear Grylls would'not eat that 😉
It was really nice actually!
If it is made of palm oil then it will last forever ... 😆
Possibly the pigs that the stuffing was made from?
2005 Bordeaux.
Christmas pudding never goes off and matures with age.
1980 port
Will be reopening the 1965 port in a bit
Some pickled onions from a couple of years ago. Pretty strong, but still good!
Christmas pudding is better if it's well matured, 4 years sounds spot on to me.
Our oldest thing was Port as above, a 40 year tawny and a 1985 vintage.
28yr old whisky (Lidl, £50 per bottle). Just a cheeky nip for me, and I've been otherwise teetotal today
2 bottles of 2007 Merlot , been sent to the man cave to calm down , as it appears am a little brarms and list
1965 port beats my 1975, and 1973 Armagnac.
Had some capers with the smoke salmon which went out of date in 2010. Tasted alright....
Just a nip of 20 year old single malt......think the sprouts were older than the turkey...... 😆
The water I drank today was quite old
1965 port beats my 1975, and 1973 Armagnac.
Not necessarily, Port at that age can be fragile whereas the Armagnac is almost certainly good.
2009 sell by date Decaf coffee at my parents, it was not good so now in the bin. We had some breadsticks sell by Jan-15 which were fine.
The mother in law, with a nice bottle of chianti.
1988 port - great year all round. Aciiiiiiid!
I'm presently sipping some Drambuie @ the In-Laws that the MiL informs me they have had since before I met their daughter!
So its probably 40 years old, tastes fine (though my taste buds may be shot today from the alcohol mix 😮 )
Sadly underwhelming 1990 margaux
1994 port much better
Got lucky today...

I can assure that the 1965 port was fantastic. It's one of the Taylors single harvest special editions. And worth every (a lot) penny
wish I'd seen this earlier , got a '77 port sat in the kitchen but I'm too pissed now to appreciate it. Home made cocktails will have much to answer for tomorrow!!!
Glenlivet 18
The wife...
The missus......beaten to it
My parents have (had) a bottle of Gordon's gin which is 70degrees proof and 26 fl oz. Pre metric and pre abv. It tastes really intense and wonderful. I did a deal to swap it for a new one and the vintage one will be used for Martinis ( technically Gibsons here).
