in praise of NUTELLA

[MaryAnnSingleton]

how I love it oh yum

am a recent convert too,that's why I come over all evangelical about it - I never touched it until last September !
MaryAnnSingleton's top Nutella treat,apart from a crepe, is a tower of rice cakes sandwiched with generous slatherings of Nutella

crepes with nutella is just the bestest, nicest, yummiest food on the planet

not so sure about the rice cakes though? am a bit funny with rice cakes, only like the with peanutbutter or cheese.

the bland rice cake lends itself to the lovely Nutella-ness, trust me !

toast, nutella with sliced peaches.

Tesco's own is much nicer than Nutella.

So I've heard, I mean, we don't have choc spread in our house! Oh no no no no no. Food of the devil. Unbecoming a MNer. No siree. In fact, I've never tasted it.

Actually, I've never heard of Tesco either.

is fab on a toasted bagel too justjules, I agree... don't care for it messed about with any other flavourings though

lol hecate

DD likes it on toast and then dunks it in tomato ketchup {hmm}

eeeww !

Picture hecate sneaking to tesco with headscarf on buying chocolate spread and hiding it in the shed.....

IK has chocolate spread in her house and eats it for breakfast - just not often enough

Tesco far far away, at 3am, headscarf and big sunglasses, to return with Unmentionable and hide it under floorboards in next door neighbours' shed.

its more than 50% sugar! just buy lovely decent choc, melt it and spread it on a piece of bread!

Most Chocolate in uk is 60% sugar and fat and little actual chocolate.

get 70% chocolate bars 50p in sainsbury at the mo and eat as it is no messing eat it neat

OOoh, am going to go and make one fo them right now Califrau...

I have a toastie bag and when kids are in bed and DH is working I put in a mashed banana and nutella sandwich to toast...is looooovely

Nutella is a stable of the belgian diet, certainly for breakfast! Even a peadiatrician here recommended it to give to the one year old daugther of a friend of mine.

I love Nutella

Nutella on warm croissants. It is a health food doncha know. They sell hazelnuts in Holland & Barratt and Nutella has H/Nuts in it so it MUST be a health food.
Like choccy orange count as one of your five a day.

I like it best off a spoon or 2

It's nice on crumpets. Now my mouth is watering.

It's peddled sugar, pushed like a drug, even advertised on mumsnet. A poison really.

Nigel Slater has an amazing recipe for chocolate pots with nutella for extra deliciousness. Please try - recipe here then post and tell me how happy you are.

Mind you, I can't really approve of those ads claiming nutella is a healthy teatime snack. I heard some mums on the bus the other day discussing the ad and they believed as it was on tv, it must be a good after school snack for children.
