Nutella

Edit: I am FLABERGASTED at how many people disagree, I genuinely thought this was obvious, pls recommend anything you prefer to nutella (and whether it's more or less expensive)

Nah, there’s stuff out there that’s better. Just try out a few.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nutella is the holy one! There's other good stuff and I don't say Nutella is better, it's just in a one-and-only category: if you want Nutella, you buy Nutella, if you want some chocolate cream, you buy what you like best

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get that, although Nutella has gotten worse in my opinion since they increased the milk powder content relative to the hazelnut content a few years back. So even Nutella isn’t really Nutella anymore in my opinion, therefore I can just as well buy something with more hazelnut centered flavour.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am one of the Nutella buyers but even so I would mention that the flavour varies wildly amongst different countries to the point that I now can say I like it from very specific places. Just thought I'd mention that each of us could actually have a slightly different version and not like it as much.

Ah, that would explain some things. Thx.

Forget the name but one with the squirrel on top is very good.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

one with the squirrel on top

Maybe you're thinking of Nutino?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Interesting, that looks good too, but no that's not the one. I looked it up it's Nocciolotta.

i started to buy kraft instead of nutella. just as good but sunflower oil instead of palm

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'll try that, thanks

The really fancy stuff (in Germany, don't know if it exists somewhere else) is Samba. Nutella is just sweet slime in comparison

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Googled it, never seen it around unfortunately

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think ebl supermarket has it, but yeah it's a little hard to come by sadly

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've never had Samba or any other brand of chocolate spread, but I agree Nutella tastes like chocolate slime. It's as if they melted (vomit flavored) Hershey bars down into a spread.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

In Germany we have Nudossi which has less sugar and a lot more hazelnut. There's a variation without palm oil so this is what Ive been buying instead of nutella.

Aldi has a really tasty version that our whole family prefers.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aldi is US only I think unfortunately

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Aldi is German.
