Peanut butter, the one without the killer oils and other junk mixed in, is very good.
Nutella, like most food, is an emotional issue, ie difficult to argue about, especially if people ate it during childhood.
Let me just add that the Nutella jar is not very aero, and that taping the 5 kg tub to the tob tube for nutrition during the bike leg of an IM would be a problem. I hope I convinced you!

There are apparently two types of people here: Those who enjoy Nutella, and those who don’t want anybody else to enjoy anything.
I fail to see how Nutella is an emotional issue. I didn’t eat it until a year ago. I now eat it in moderation (perhaps a jar every 4 months?). I eat it because it tastes good, not because I have daddy issues.
I could live on grilled chicken, broccoli and brown rice. Food is just food. I also love sausage and brats (which, in their own right, are a terribly dirty food) and wine, and anything else you posted. But a hot piece of meat does not serve the same purpose as a judicious scoop of chocolate.
Why do so many people feel so emotionally opposed to Nutella? Instead of “love it or hate it,” what happened to “love it…or just don’t care, so I won’t say anything.”
Am I taking crazy pills??? Oh wait…they’re tucked in my hazelnut-chocolate spread.
You are right – either people enjoy Nutella (sane, fun loving people like you), or they don’t want anybody else to enjoy anything (crazy, foul tempered people like myself). There are indeed only two types of people here, and you were very perceptive in pointing it out.
You are right – it is clear from my posts that my main purpose in life is to prevent you from enjoying Nutella, and that I myself am incapable of enjoying anything. Except perhaps the process of trying to prevent you from enjoying Nutella. Ha-ha – THAT is fun!
You are right – food is never an emotional issue, and if you look it up you’ll find absolutely no literature on this non-existant subject.
You are right – I subsist on grillen chicken, broccoli and brown rice, eat nothing else, and am deprived of sense of humour because of it. This state of mind manifests itself in a violent opposition to Nutella and similar foods. I also occasionally beat up my Nutella-eating kids just because I lost that battle with them (and my wife) years ago and am a poor loser with a long memory.
You are right – A hot piece of meat is not the same thing as a judicious scoop of chocolate. Even if this last description does not exactly fit Nutella. A well-made chocolate mousse – or ice (not rice) cream – does. I yield to no one in my love of chocolate (or, more to the point, cocoa), and that is why I find Nutella’s flavor (and oily aftertaste) a poor choc experience.
You are right – A hefty jar of Nutella can serve an important purpose. I’m not sure how smart it would look on a Fuel Belt, but I can see its utility as a defensive weapon on those aggressive swim starts.

The medicine makes Nutella go down.
Dude, you need to R-E-L-A-X. Is your seat too high?
No. I just like discussing food.

Forget the Martini Shiv. Someone needs to make a Nutella Speed Concept…
It is okay to be a little passionate about that!
Why dirty a spoon?
People that put nutella on a sandwich instead of peanut butter are missing out on one of life’s great pleasures. The thing to do is put BOTH peanut butter AND nutella on a sandwich. I slather one slice with PB and the other with nutella. Slap 'em together, add a glass of milk (+1 if it’s chocolate milk), and enjoy! It’s a life-altering experience.
TOTALLY!!!
Don’t mess with my nutella!
Okay, peanut butter is great, nutella is even better. combining both, is love in my mouth. That said, niether, nor both combined will ever be better than a well made martini IMO.

AMEN TO THIS brother! nutella and jelly’s are my favorite food since discovering the god-given non-Newtonian fluid

can’t you get arrested for posting images like this? Highly suggestive.
I quit Nutella cold turkey a while ago. Like an experienced addict, I sensed the potential danger in Nutella. After a few jars I decided I didn’t want to go down that path. I got out before it got too bad. I have gone back to Smuckers Natural Peanut butter. It’s all I’ve got left.
My choice when I was on…plain rice cake, nutella, honey. Consume 3 of these, twice daily. The rice cake gives it a nice crunch, but doesn’t try to overpower the nutella/ honey taste. This should be made into a candy bar. Add a cup of coffee on a cold fall day and you’re in heaven.

This is perhaps your greatest contribution to this thread…
Thanks!
I can see by your signature that you’re a proud smart ass. Wouldn’t have guessed…
Cheers!
