World Nutella Day -- Tuesday, February 5th
 

I just found out that Tuesday, February 5th is World Nutella Day.

While I wouldn't normally make a big deal about something like this... I just thought it would be cool if we all took some time on World Nutella Day to have a heaping helping of Nutella and Cheese (or whatever you would prefer).

I miss Nancy...


How will you participate?

Bust a nut, of course.

I don't know if I can eat the stuff, bro.

I'm totally eating nothing but Fluff & Nutella sandwiches all day long!

I never had it with cheese, so I'll try that first. Then move on from there and spread it on all varieties of fruit in the house, then on various toasted breads, crackers, I also do have some Fluff ...I'm keeping an eye on this thread for more ways to eat it.

And here I was, thinking it meant we could bootleg songs 'til our heart's content...

I'll eat Nutella while voting in the IL primary :)

I've never had Nutella, but it looks good on tv. ;P

Wow, this is really weird, but it totally falls on the same day as Pancake Tuesday this year! Awesome! I was already planning on making my traditional "Pancake Cake"--thin eggy pancakes spread with Nutella and layered. Yum yum yum. My last sweet before Lent.

I bought the industrial sized nutella twin pack at Costco. As for the cheese..I'll pass.
However...
James did this thing for a while where if I made grits for breakfast, he'd put nutella in them. I was not amused and told him if he didn't stop, then no more grits.

I LOVE Nutella. I don't know how I will participate yet, but know that I will be celebrating with you. :D

In honor of this thread, last night I made a sandwich from two slices of pound cake, spread with Nutella and Polaner strawberry spread. I recommend it. Tonight I'll make one with apricot spread.

Anybody that mentions calories or carbs or other such scare tactics in this thread should be banned for a while.

I love Nutella, it's very tasty on bagels. I might have to try it with cheese although that doesn't sound yummy :-p

Thanks for reminding me. Been meaning to try the stuff. :p

What's not to love?

mmmmmmmm - I have a friend that loves this stuff - i can't wait to try it!

<3 *wonders how good Nutella is when used on body parts* ;-p

It's pretty good.

It leaves brown stains on the sheets if you don't get it all though... :paranoid:

Never heard of this one yet, but I've been considering possible new combos so I did a batch of microwave popcorn, then put a couple tablespoons of Nutella on it, stirred, stirred, stirred, until the Nutella was somewhat evenly covering the popcorn. hmmmmmmmm goood.

Sounds like a plan... I may even use a tablespoon and eat right from the jar. ;)

I'm practically dry-heaving already.

Try and get some grisini. They can double as tablespoons just the same :)

I think I'll cover myself with this stuff and call the hottest girl I know, who just happens to love the stuff. *Grabs the Nutella*

doubt i'll participate Charlie......don't really like the stuff myself.

and i too miss Nancy.........i catch her on mess every now and again though.:sad:

Wow, that sounds like a perfect day in paradise.....

Nutella fondue ...melt a bunch in the double boiler, keep warm, dip in your favorite accompanyment, like fruit, cheese, breads, cakes, etc.

Okay, so let me get this straight.

Nutella on graham crackers.
Nutella fondue. (mmmm I'm thinkin' strawberries and/or pound cake)
Nutella and cheese sandwich?

What else? :p

:thumbsup:
I have nothing to say

My hotel has not had nutella in two whole days! :grumpy: :grumpy: I look forward to it at breakfast on every trip I take to Europe and here I am with nothing to put on my croissant.

Philistines...

lady fingers + turkey baster (or similar pastry injector) + Nutella = shoot Nutella into lady fingers = yummy

Ooooooh. That does sound really tasty.

I just thought of it: Kraft Dinner and Nutella! :oogle:

Wow, a real reason for Tuesday to be Super Tuesday!
 

Actually, I am waiting with baited breath for Tuesday to happen, now I can wait with Nutella flavored breath. I will celebrate my canidate's victories with Nutella and marshmellow fluff.

Good point. Mmm, Nutella Day, Pancake Tuesday, and Super Tuesday all in one.

Gee thanks, now I've got a Nutella craving...

Usually, I go for the basic Nutella-filled crepes, but since I don't feel like making crepes, I might go for Nutella on this stuff:

Never saw or heard of Hawaiian sweet bread. What is it? How would you describe it?

It's basically a sort of soft white bread that's mildly sweet. While it IS a white bread, I find that it does have a bit more texture and is a little more chewy than regular Wonder-style bread. It really isn't overly sweet or anything, but just enough to be noticable. It also makes REALLY good french toast,although you've got to cut it pretty thick, as it gets kind of fragile when it's thin.

From what I've noticed, it's not all that tough to find. Grocery stores typically stock it near the deli section and not the bread section for some strange reason, and I've seen it by the deli sections in those big Wal-Marts that have grocery stores in them. Whenever I do get the stuff, I usually get a loaf like the one I linked, which is one big unsliced chunk. They also sell little square dinner rolls that taste exactly the same, as well as wheat rolls that I haven't gotten around to trying yet.

As far as how it works with Nutella, I've found that the sweetness of the nutella really works well with the sweetness of the bread (although the combination kicks the already-borderline Nutella well into "dessert" territory), and as long as you don't get a loaf that's too close to its expiration date, the softness of the bread and the sort of chewy-gumminess of the Nutella makes a really good texture.

Later when I go to the supermarket I'll look for Hawaiin sweet bread. Along with beer and Nutella this can be my superbowl dessert.

got my Nutella today - gonna try it for dessert tonite :P

How is it possible that so many Americans don't know what this is??

I'll dig it out tonight for dessert, spread on some basic bread rolls... hell, it's good with ANYTHING, really, and lasts forever in the jar. :thumbsup:

And what a great idea, with Hawaiian sweet bread... oh god, sometimes I really miss the variety of foods available in America. Then again, Iceland nearly makes up for all that it lacks, with the dizzying array of dairy products on offer.

I did it! Had Nutella last night ...

Don't look :eek:


I melted a teaspoon in the microwave and drizzled it over a slice of NY cheesecake.

YUMMMMMMMM!! Even licked the spoon.

Gonna go a little less sweet this evening. :D Yes, it's like Ferrero Rocher without the chunks.

Nutella always reminds me of eating one of my childhood favorites--Dutch hagelslag, which are chocolate sprinkles (they come in all sorts of flavors now) you put on buttered toast or rolls or what have you at breakfast. They melt when put onto hot buttered toast. Yum yum. Discovering Nutella for me was like finding hagelslag in a jar, ready to go.

And yes, I too buy my Nutella in the twinpack at Costco when it's in stock.

Gotta get my fill today; tomorrow Lent starts, and that means forty days without sugar for me.
