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?
The kids in Germany, grew up with nutella like you have with peanut butter.
It is a nut-nougat spread, made from hazelnuts and cocoa.
