  • Test it on your own children. Please don’t involve us!
  • If it's 'best before' it'll be fine, if it's 'eat by' it might not be so fine.

    remember you'll have less joy in your life


    ...but still have the same amount of snow!

    I think the oranges are poached in sugar syrup and are more or less candied - and they're pretty air-tight in the pudding - so I reckon it'd probably be ok. Having said that, I did try one a few years ago and thought it was pretty nasty when fresh so I'm not sure I'd bother with an out-of-date one :)
