KidsHappen Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Well, since I don't like hazelnut flavor, I would say it is pretty disgusting. However, mayo is even worse. I can only handle it if it is mixed with something else that's flavor is so strong as to overwhelm the mayo (potato salad with onions and greek seasoning, tuna, deviled eggs, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornblower Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I DETEST peanut butter. With a passion. Love nutella. People, it's chocolate. It doesn't really taste like hazelnuts at all (which I also like). It's chocolate jam for your bread. People who don't like it - is it the texture? In that case do you like puddings and pastry creme? Or is that you don't like chocolate? Or is it that you don't like chocolate on bread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) There are few things I find as disgusting as Nutella. You? I'm right there with you. And... It does not taste like chocolate. Godiva is chocolate. Even Lindor is chocolate. Nutella is not chocolate. I think Nutella tastes like I imagine wet socks worn all day by a sweaty dog would taste.

Classical Country Mama Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Crazy about Nutella. Nutella makes even gross food taste like ambrosia. I like it on pancakes, topped with a bit of syrup! P.S. Full disclosure: I also like vegemite... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 It doesn't taste like chocolate to me: more like cheap cocoa flavanoids. Maybe it's just that the chocolate flavor is cut by hazelnut and that's why it seems so different? I like hazelnuts, but not in Nutella...

flyingmommy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 My family loves Nutella! We eat it with Ritz crackers. The slightly salty crackers counteract the too sweetness of Nutella.

Well, I guess sunlight could potentially warm your tongue (*imagining someone sticking their tongue into a sunbeam*). If you tasted anything, it would be all the dust that's in the air--the dust you can never see until the sun streams through the window and you find yourself suffocating just thinking about the fact that with every breath you're breathing all THAT in! :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilymax Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Nutella Nirvana: Get a box of Pepperidge Farm frozen puff pastry sheets. Thaw/unfold according to package directions. Cut each sheet into approximately 12 to 16 squares. Spoon a teaspoon of Nutella into each square, then fold over into a triangle. (It'll look like a tiny little turnover.) Press edges together. Bake according to package directions. Let cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar and enjoy. Heaven, I tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achristean Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Okay, my 9 month old baby has problems whenever I eat/drink anything with soy or milk in it. So I've had to be a little creative with the "treats" I make for myself. I discovered that I can create things like sour cream, ranch dressing and even chocolate frosting by using canola mayonnaise. (Sounds disgusting, right?) It's actually quite good. Anyway, a few weeks ago my mother-in-law made a chocolate cake for my 6 yo ds's bday and she made it so that I could have some (no soy/milk). But we had to wait until after dinner to eat it. I have gone SO long without a yummy treat. I was kind of out of my mind craving a taste of that chocolate frosting. . . . And no graham crackers (they have soy) So, I thought "Nutella" I could mix this chocolate frosting with my soyfree peanut butter; toast some bread; and . . . yum. Okay, long story. But I thought of my "Nutella" experience when I saw your poll. Thanks for the happy memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take your word on it that it tastes like chocolate, but the main ingredient in the chocolate I prefer is not sugar (I like it dark). :ack2: I was looking at the nut butters tonight. I found a Dark Chocolate one, but I don't remember the nut. I think it was peanut, but it was $4.85, so I waffled. Found it. I think I want it. I'm OK with Nutella. We bought it once because of the hype on the board. We mostly ate it off spoons trying to figure out what it reminded us of. I think we decided it tasted like the inside of those wafer truffle thingies that are packed in 3's or 4's by the checkout. Maybe Lindor. I did spread it on Pepperidge Farm Bordeaux cookies and that was pretty good, but I really like those cookies. I try all sorts of things on them. Crumble them in ice cream. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in Neverland Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I would eat nothing but Nutella on Ritz crackers for the rest of my life if it were socially acceptable and wouldn't kill me.

Rosie_0801 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Since Nutella, or something made from the same ingredients, forms the filling in chocolate seashells, I can hardly object to the stuff. :drool5: Nutella on bread, particularly cheap, white, supermarket bread is right up there on my list of gross things. :ack2: If you are that desperate, admit defeat and eat it out of the jar.
