Nutella?

must ask.
What's the big deal about Nutella? I've seen various talk about it here and
elsewhere, and recently saw it next to the deli counter at my local
supermarket, and thought, "Hmm."
So, what gives?

Think of peanut butter. Now make it thicker and chocolate-flavored, with some
hazelnut overtones.
If this appeals to you, go back to the supermarket post-haste and pick it up.
If this makes you go "eww", don't bother.
Be warned, though--Nutella is something like 14% fat. I try to have no more
than one teaspoon a day. And damn, that's hard. :d
The consensus seems to be that it goes best with Milk Bones. I'm not quite
brave enough to bring those into an apartment with no dogs (besides, what if I
don't like 'em?), but I've found that Nilla Wafers work quite well.
Hope that helps. :)

You need to be introduced to Tim Tams.
Tim Tams?
1- Take an oreo.
2- Double its size and make it rectangular.
3- Replace the cream with thick chocolate cream.
4- Dip the whole thing in very thick chocolate.
5- Do 4 again.
6- Do 4 again.
THAT's a Tim Tam. It's an Australian thing.

Going to a science and tech school, and living in the Sillicon Forest, we
have quite possibly the highest number of Intel engineers (or for the guys
who like to pay homage to thier past, Tektronix) out of any high school in
the country. And most of us are nicely connected internationally,
although mostly to the commonwealths and South Africa. This means high
spending friends (I dont mooch all the time, Im making a rather generous
minimum wage right now (Min wage in Oregon is US$6.50/hr)). They heard of
Tim Tams had had a case of them shipped here. Damn good.
Don't bother with Oreos and milk. Or know that bothering with Oreos and
milk is about as affective as solving an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. Tim Tams and Starbucks are one of those things that probably
hadn't crossed your "milk and Oreo" mind. Something that blindsides you
with chocolate goodness around four PM on some idle Tuesday afternoon...
...But trust me on the Tim Tams.

I'll bet ANYTHING you know about the Tim Tam Suck. If you don't, you've

Dunno from Bonios. Milk Bones are a sort of cookie-cracker-biscuit thing
specifically made for dogs. In other words, nonfurs will give you *strange*
looks if they see you eating one.

Bonios are hard, crunchy canine-biscuits that, as their name implies,
come in the shape of a stereotypical bone.
They are *not* to be confused with "Biscrok", a small, lozenge-shaped
dog-biscuit that comes in four different varieties [the black, charcoaly
ones, taste foul, and the rest are fairly shudder-making too].

Aaaa, ya young whippersnappers! I *my* days, back in the sixties, we

After hearing Uncle Kage's stories of his days in the food testing labs, and
hearing about what they allow to go into food intended for humans, you aren't
going to get me to even THINK about getting near a product intended for animal

Well, if people wer really worried about what they were eating, they
would make their own food from scratch. But, as no one has time for that
anymore, we depend on others to safeguard our food for us. And where
trust is given, trust can be destroyed. Oh well.
Besides, I've eaten dandylions, "Rocky Mountain oysters" (bull balls -
slimey), maggot-infested rice (not on purpose - but it didn't taste that
bad... just rather crunchy when it ought not to have been), ants
(crunchy), and grasshoppers (crunchy squishy). By far the most
disguisting thing I've eaten was calamari, but I have since been
informed that it must not have been prepared properly. And yes... I have
heard what goes into dog food. I have also seen humans tasting the food
as paid taste-testers. Sorry, but dog bisquits just seem a little tame.

I just was at the Van Nuys CA Costco for lunch (and gas at
$1.27.9/gallon - 'retail' starts at $1.36) today, cruised all the food
aisles, and couldn't find Nutella anywhere. Asked at the membership
desk and they couldn't find it in the computer (though they may not
have known how to ask... ;-)
Does somefur have the Item Number, Manufacturer name, and other info
helpful for finding this wonderful sounding stuff? (I HATE paying too
much.) If I give them the item number they can find it in the
computer and say 'Oh, it's over in Aisle 304!'
Guess I'll have to finish off this can of Pirouline Cookies while I
wait. (Same stuff - I think - as a filling inside a 5" x 1/2" tubular
crepe-style cookie. #98301. Yummy. But highly addictive.)

Costco, and maybe those werehouse stores in general, get things when
they get a deal. I've seen this especially with their electronics stuff
(I *so* wanted that subwoofer!). Possibly it doesn't show up as a

Well, let me just consult this (half-full :-) jar I have here. Hm. Really no
product code or anything, but it is called Nutella, subtitled "Hazlenut spread
with skim milk & cocoa." It is made by Ferrero USA (the US division of the
Italian company which originated it), Somerset, NJ 08873. Oh, and there's a
number to call if you have questions: 1-800-NUTELLA (are you surprised?)
For what it's worth, I've always found it in the grocery store
(Dominick's, Jewel, or Cub Foods here in the Chicago area) next to the peanut
butter.

Thanks! That's an improvement. I can call them and ask for names
of stocking local grocers. Though getting it through Costco would
still be a bonus - I like them. They sell good stuff for cheap. Not
cheap stuff.
I wonder if they're a division of Ferrero-Rocher. I *have* heard of
them...

Which can be *so* frustrating. They never tell you if it's a
one-time purchase or something they'll have for a long time. They had
a great deal on a Casio P-touch labeler, but I didn't need one. Then
when I needed one, they were all two weeks gone. Don't you just hate
it when that happens?

used 'em last Saturday)
There's no Costco stock # but the UPC # is 0 09800 89525 0
This is for the 750g (26.5oz) Jar at $3.99 each
Maybe I should put some in the Charity Auction at AnthroCon - do they take
this sort of thing?
