Just got back from the supermarket with our ‘three-jar-only’ rations of Nutella, both eyes intact and no bones broken. Was a good trip today. Maybe tomorrow not so lucky.
French supermarkets these days, it’s a jungle out there…

Nutella Poem
Nutella, Nigella, your nuts have a nuance enrobed in palm oil
Rush for nuts, aisles smeared in irate blood and nuts that are crushed
Underfoot, tut, tut, zut! Leap over yellow signs that say Sol Glissant
Nuts, Nigella, cook me up your brunch of nuts Nutella
Black dress, black hair, let’s split then call 18 pour les pompiers
Nuts, palm oil nuts, Nigella, Nutella, it’s a 24 hour gastronomic countdown to
cut price markdown meltdown supermarket aisle showdown smackdown
Downtown Intermarché, Lidl, Carrefour, Aldi, Super U, Super you
You got Nutella, 3 packs, and all your limbs intact, nuts, pots and pans
Casserole, nuts Nutella, Nigella palm oil, je suis la, j’ai faim, oui, mais calmez vous!
(love never ends) We’ll always be together, together in Nutella dreams

I’ll be sure to pack up on my 10 Jars of Nutella when I can visit France. Though I can’t blame the addictive, rather aromatic flavour of a chocolate spread like no other. It’s the same taste they have in Ferrero Rocher I believe.
It can be pricy here in the U.k for its popularity too.

Hi Sonea, tbh I don’t partake too much in Nutella but admit it is really good on crepes (pancakes). Yum. Yes, it’s made by the same company Ferrero and I guess it is a bit like Rocher in taste now that you say that.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a brill week ahead! 🙂

Hi TVTA, glad to see you survived unharmed. These were crazy scenes today and I just heard a bunch of baboons escaped from their enclosures too….wonder if they were going to get their jars of Nutella?

Just saw several articles on the brawling; I thought that only happened in America on Black Friday!
