Guess what? Today is World Nutella Day! That’s right, today is the day we celebrate Nutella, that glorious blend of hazelnuts, cocoa, and skim milk. The spread, which has been a childhood favorite of mine ever since I tried it at my friend Ed’s house, can be used in many different ways, but usually, I just add it to toast, which honestly is good enough. But don’t take my word for it. Other notable Nutella enthusiasts include B-Side Blog regulars IndianJones and Bets, and if it’s good enough for them, well, then it’s good enough for America.
Anyway, the point of this post is not to shill Nutella, but to spread the word about this momentous day. There’s actually a website devoted to this possibly-not-quite-official holiday, which has various links to various Nutella outposts from various corners throughout the various Interwebs. Had I been slightly more intrepid, I would have attempted to create some fascinating Nutella-based confection, but alas, I had no time (a Nutella tart recipe I found on the Internet certainly piqued my interest…).
For those who wish to see some Nutella action shots, I have a few pics after the jump…
First I prepare some toast.
Then I open my Nutella…
Excitement builds…
Success!
Wow, that was intense. Hope you all get to enjoy some Nutella today!
