Recently I've been discovering an array of new foodstuffs, both as an active departure from the food I've eaten for the past couple of years and because I've been just plain curious. This is what happens when you've been underemployed for two years.
So I was walking through the local grocery with my father and I picked up a jar of Nutella. I've never had it, but I've always stayed away from it thinking I hate hazelnuts. Well, I don't hate hazelnuts, it turns out. It also turns out that Nutella is the most delicious substance known to man. I mean, look at it. Just look at it!
It has this satiny texture and the combination of hazelnuts and chocolate is perfect. There remains one problem, though.
What the hell do you put it on? Is this some kind of cosmic joke? I find something as wonderful as this and nothing to put it on! You can't just eat spoonfuls of it. That would be overkill. I asked my friend Andy what he puts it on. His answer? Crepes. And me without a crepe pan. Fuck. My mother suggested white bread, but I think white bread is kind of disgusting. A noble suggestion, but it doesn't work either. Nilla Wafers? Not quite. Shortbread? Wrong again.
So now I'm left with a 3/4 filled jar of Nutella. Just sitting there.
