I had heard about Nutella for years but had never run across it until a couple of weeks ago. I don't really know exactly what I expected it to taste like ... but the first bite told me it was a flavor I hadn't really anticpiated. It's not that I didn't like it - I was just shocked. Now that I know what it taste like, and know not to slather it on a piece of toast with the same abandon that I do peanut butter - I really am getting rather fond of it.

So maybe I'm at least HALF human?

LOL Michael!!! Nutella would be good as the center to a truffel!! My Italian friend said they grew up using that like we use peanut butter - but I would have to agree - don't use as much Nutella as you would peanut butter!

Well Michael, keep on enjoying the delight of Nutella, the more you eat it the more you will grow fond of it!! But be careful also, you could become TOO fond of this sinful stuff!!

Iris gave you guys some nice suggestions, in Italy, believe it or not there are also NUTELLA PIZZAS!! But don't worry with this pizza there are no tomatoes or cheeses, they just use the plain baked pizza dough with nothing on it, slice it sideways and make nutella sandwitch. Actually, the plain baked pizza dough is also popular, this is the original pizza bianca (white pizza) and they eat it simply with a drizzle of extra virgine olive oil, dash of rosemary and salt, or make a sandwich with something like nutella, among many other things...

I myself didn't encounter the immense pleasure of Nutella until I moved to Spain 13years ago with my ex husband in the Navy, but I was immediately hooked on it because I adore the hazelnut flavour!!

I love a nice piece of toast with nutella and either bananas or strawberries. mmm. I wish I had some good bread in the house right now, that is what I would eat. Or a crepe.
