Ahaha, this is sooooo French! I've been eating Nutella since I was a kid. I eat it on bread that I put in the toaster first. Or in crepes. I'm going to make crepes for my American friends here and they'll try it. They'll love it, I'm sure. Kinder Bueno, and all that stuff, I've eaten so much of that! I was delighted when I saw a Nutella jar in the States! I've already bought four of them.:D
French??? Bite your tongue. Nutella is Italian. :p:DQuote:

I'm convinced that Nutella plays a large part in keeping the earth on its axis...it's amazing.
The Italians love their Nutella - you can even get it in restaurants, which I found hilarious. Basically I equate it to the European version of Peanut Butter, except chocolate-butter.
I like it, but I don't buy it, simply because I'd end up eating it with a spoon.
Just the thought of hazelnuts gives me chills. :sick: BUT I would be willing to try a little bit. What would you recommend to be the best way to taste it?Quote:

It goes great on Italian bread. But try it on the end of a butter knife.Quote:

Wow.. everyone is so addicted.. to the point of eating it with a spoon.. that is so unhealthy haha.. :p
that's the whole idea. lol.
:lol: i can't believe you don't like it.Quote:

I think, in my country, if didnt nutella exist,
country's total "anger" level would be 20-30% higher.
nope i find it completely revaulting.Quote:

I can't eat Nutella with just a spoon though, I need something to spread it on. I would say one of the best ways to eat it is on French crepes. Really. I think I said that already but you can never say it enough. ;) What I can eat directly with a spoon though, is chocolate powder, you know, the one you blend with milk to obtain milk chocolate. Nesquik, it's called:

If you take too much in your mouth it makes you choke, but otherwise it's great!:D
You could always roll some nutella into little balls then coat them in NesQuik. It would be kind of like a swiss truffleQuote:

I don't know, it only took me a nanosecond to acquire that taste!
me too! And I'm still trying to shake it off!
I would never just eat it with a spoon though!
It goes fine in bread! ...
I like it :D
:crash:
Nutella is bliss. It is Alpha and Omega. It is the Way. The Light. The World. :yesnod:
I can't buy Nutella.
Every time I do I finish the jar by the end of the day. I'm not joking either. The last seven times I bought Nutella, promising this time it would be different, this time I would draw on the will power to make it last for at least a week, I ended up eating the whole jar in a day.
:lol: It really is incredible. I love it, but I've had to stop buying it for similar reasons. :DQuote:

I think this :drool5: emoticon is suitable for this thread!
Those of you who can actually wait to get hold of a spoon before going through the jar have great self-restraint, I think!
:p
The homemade truffle idea is quite interesting, given the actual cost of the French import, but dark chocolate and nutella do not have the same texture, consistency, or taste.
I think the nutella as recycled treat idea would be closer to graham crackers, or ginger cookies, diced banana, and mini marshmallows, because really good dark chocolate is too rich to be ingested in anything but small bites, and it cannot be over-indulged and still truly be enjoyed, not to my sense.
Nutella is not quite so loaded.
Heathcliff eats Nutella spread on her bread, sprinkled with 100's and 1000's. Yuk!
My husband is worse. When I make pancakes, he sometimes spreads nutella between each pancake and then tops with maple syrup.
Gah!:ack2:
Oh man, what a strain on the teeth, love handles and the sugar levels - ouch!
