I’m all for public service, so whilst everyone else was tucking into the Nutella during last Thursday’s Nutella Brekkie at Legoland, I was busy filming what Nutella’s three expert guests had to say. Seeing as the milk content meant I couldn’t eat Nutella myself, I figured it was only fair that I made everyone else suffer and get them on camera.
And now for a little nutritional information*. It seems that Nutella is a better option than butter and jam on your toast! Something I’d never actually considered before. It’s also not chocolate – the cocoa content is too low – so you can eat Nutella without guilt.

Yum! I’ve had a love affair with Nutella since I lived in Germany for a month when I was 15.
It’s tasty delicious and makes me feel even more Euro Trash than I already am

I like nutella and peanut butter on toast. It’s probably still healthier than 15g of butter!
Argh! Not me on video – btw shot much better than mine!!
Lovely to see you again x

It’s only a matter of time before someone gets me on video. I’m dreading the day.
The biggest problem I see (having not watched the videos yet, is that whereas I might only have 15g of butter, it’s unlikely I’ll stop at 15g of Nutella! I know. I have no self-control.

I’m very much the same – if I could eat it, I would just take a spoon to the jar.
Can’t stand Nutella myself. It’s the insides of many Ferrero Rochers squashed into a jar. Am liking your blog though…very amusing…

Oooh, will have to give them that one for an improvement – a jar of nutella with the ferrero rocher crunchy bits inside. Sounds like heaven.
I don’t know what you mean. I would never do that. Never. (and I have no idea how the jar in my cupboard got empty. I didn’t eat it with spoon.) You believe me, right?

Like the husband believes me when I tell him I don’t know where that unopened tub of ice-cream went…
Mmm… Nutella smoothie.. Mmm…
