"Everything else has sugar and other hydrogenated oils. It is like eating sweet brown crisco. Totally vile."

However, for too many of us, that is exactly what we grew up on as kids. It is an acquired taste.

True enough, Mr. Gross.

I guess my comment sounds a bit harsh in retrospect, but it wasn't meant that way. I grew up on the big cheap industrial containers of Jif with the generic white paper containers. It was the cheapest available, and that was all we could afford.

I got converted to the "One true path" of peanut butter by a girlfriend, and haven't looked back. Perhaps my visceral reaction is to the experience as well as the food. :)

Well yes nutella can be stored at room temperature. I have hardly refrigerated it ever.
