bluekarin Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Oh my word! I would get some nice crusty bread and slather the Nutella on it. A good way to try it I feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yvonne Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Tee Hee, love the first post. Without wishing to burst anyone's bubble, I feel I do just need to mention that Nutella (along, unfortunately, with many chocolate products) contains palm oil which I now try to avoid due to the awful devastation of Orang Utang habitats. I know it's almost impossible to avoid everything with unethical links, but I do try and just wanted to point this out in case anyone else is interested.

kinsk Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 love it! I used to be adicted to the sun pat peanut butter and chocolate spread, it came in a two tone swirl in the jar, can't get it anymore. Hope he enjoys it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's almost impossible to avoid everything with unethical links, but I do try and just wanted to point this out in case anyone else is interested. I didn't realise it contained palm oil I always try to make sure my peanut butter is palm oil free, but didn't even consider choccy spread. I know you can get ethical palm oil but how on earth do you check what is and isn't ethical? I was amazed at the weekend whilst trying to find a vegan pudding recipe, in a looong list of bad foods, honey is not allowed due to their legs getting pulled off but palm oil seems to be ok Unless I read it wrong.

Space Chick Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 How can honey not be OK for Vegans shocking As for the palm oil, that is sad but I do have to get him a jar just so he can try at least once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Because it is made by bees. They don't eat anything that is either animal or made by animals (ie dairy products). The good news I have found a hazelnut choc spread which doesn't co tail palm oil! http://www.hawthornhealth.com/general-health-c7/chocolate-hazelnut-spread-350g-p15873?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=antony-worrall-thompson-chocolate-amp-hazelnut-spread-350g-awt5&utm_campaign=product+listing+ads%3Futm_source%3Dgoogle&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=antony-worrall-thompson-chocolate-amp-hazelnut-spread-350g-awt5&utm_campaign=product%2Blisting%2Bads&gclid=CNeKtJX5lrwCFQgOwwodNBkAqQ#18712 Wow!

yvonne Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Bluekarin (tried to quote your link, but computer didn't seem to want to do it !) I looked up the choc spread via the link you mentioned and the second ingredient is "palm fat", maybe I'm missing something, but sounds like palm oil to me ! I spoke to a lady selling soap last year who was very against palm oil and she said some companies hide it by simply stating "vegetable oil" - I felt very stupid as I'd been pleased with myself for finding a choc spread (Cadburys) which didn't show palm oil as an ingredient, but I imagine now it probably has it in anyway. Will stop hi-jacking this thread now, sorry. It's so hard to try to shop ethically isn't it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercedes55 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 My OH is 61 and has never tried Nutella, mind you I am 58 and I haven't tried it either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I have never had any either. And I'm closer to 60 than 40. But it has never appealed to me. Chocolate yes but with nuts and as a spread No, not for me ...but in a bar of chocolate , that is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Well I bought him a jar today...... And the verdict? It's excellent Yay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 You should give it a go Angie,I spent years spreading it on kids toast etc without tasting,I actually tried it only a couple of years ago and it is surprisingly nice.Now Marmite that is something I haven't been tempted to try,OH loves it I occasionally spread it on toast for chickens and they love it too.

Guest Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I have never had nutella either and have no desire to change that, I love chocolate bars and hot chocolate but hate chocolate cake and chocolate flavoured biscuits. Apparently I am weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickabee Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Does anyone remember when Nutella first came out. It wasn't in a big jar it was in little plastic pots and you could lick it. Yum,those were the days. In France I think it's illegal not to like Nutella, you get it everywhere and you can buy the most huge jars of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
