Sad day for the cycling community, and the Nutella lovers of the world 🙁

Very sad.

Nutella is one of Italy's many gifts to the world. I live on the stuff.

Wifey eats it straight outta the jar. And that Eurocream stuff. Like a kid. I think she even has pancakes with it. Shame to hear about Mr Ferrero.

Occasionally have it on holiday but I'm more of a crème de marron sort of guy. That said, for the head of the org that brought us the ambassador's reception, Signore Ferrero will be missed. 🙁

RIP Mr. Ferrero !

You can also put Nutella into microwave and drink it.
Made der Jan faster. 😀
You can also mix it up with Kinderriegel then.
But I also prefer it on pancakes.
While I noticed that Nutella tastes somehow different in different countries.

Nutella is one of the things I couldn't do without, unique things that don't have acceptable alternatives when it comes to taste.
It's like Coca Cola for me.


This is also great stuff.

I always send a big "surprise" package to some Irish friends around christmas.
They are happy like kids when they get their Kinderriegels, Nutella, Aachener Dominosteine and Printen, and German beer. 😀
