Nutella is a spread created in post war Italy, which used a combination of hazelnut paste after excessive taxes on cocoa beans hindered the early development and production of conventional chocolate. While the economics of the situation produced a cheaper product, it is in no way inferior, and is in-fact regarded as one of the premier chocolate spreads.
Being Italian, Nutella has always featured in my home and my life. It’s a childhood comfort food; the same way some might consider Kraft Macaroni and Cheese a comfort food, it’s something that ties you to happier times when the only worries you had were what you were going to do when you ran out of 4*8 grey LEGO plates on your latest creation.
It is for this reason, I sit here at the screen with a spoon and a jar of Nutella. I’m wishing for a time where LEGO is my main concern, and when I thought staying up to 10pm was a major deal.
Anyway, please, do excuse me. I have a jar of Nutella to finish.
