8-J

Mme. Malkhos has a way of hoarding food that is sometimes disturbing.

Today she found a tin of Christmas Pudding in the closet that was bought in November of 2007. It is a British Product.

She notices the expiration date says 8J. She wonders if any British reader would know what this means; for example does it mean January 2008? Do you consider it safe?

October 2008 (number is the year, letter the month)

If it neither explodes nor stinks nor runs away, eat it.

I'll have the camera handy when we open it so I can post a follow-up if it runs away.

Unless it explodes. We'll get medical care first, then post pictures.
