Close - Duplicate, when more recent question is more useful

Question

Came across this in the review queue: Can I freeze cream?

It was VTC - Duplicate of Can I freeze bagna cauda (cream)?

Now, both these questions are rather simple, but they do have pretty specific answers.

I voted to close as it was a clear duplicate, but then I got to thinking. Isn't the more recent question the better one in that it's more likely to be hit by a user searching for an answer?

What should be done in situations like this?

Answer 1

I think you are quite right. Since nobody else has chimed in, I went ahead and closed it, placing the duplicates in the direction you suggested.
