Nutella is a delicious chocolate hazelnut spread that people love!   

Nutella was created back in 1806, when Napoleon tried to freeze out British commerce as a means to win the Napoleonic wars (and take over the world). The result was a disastrous and caused the cost of chocolate to skyrocket and left Piedmontese chocolatiers  in the lurch. Ever resourceful, chocolatiers in Turin started adding chopped hazelnuts to chocolate to stretch the supply as much as Possible . The ensuing deliciousness was a fateful paste dubbed “gianduia.”

Over a century later, chocolate again became expensive and scarce due to rationing in Europe during World War II. An Italian pastry maker named Pietro Ferrero once again turned to the mighty hazelnut for salvation in 1946 and created Pasta Gianduja, renamed “Nutella” in 1964.

Salads are not the only option when you are a vegetarian

By Zach  Challenge #5 Question #1

 

More and more people are becoming vegetarian in America. Vegetarians are people that do not eat any meat, such as beef, chicken or fish. But my family and I eat anything with animal products in them, such as gelatin, margarine and processed breads. I also do not eat processed sugars to help animals. Here are some things that we eat a lot of:

 

  • Fruits (grapes,bananas,oranges,apples and grapefruit)
  • Vegetables (kale,spinach,lettuce, tomatoes,carrots,potatoes,mushrooms and okra)
  • Proteins (cheese, eggs, nuts and tofu)

 

Pizza is very popular in America. Most people think that pizza has meat on it but the meat is all in the toppings. You can get a margarita pizza (cheese,tomato sauce, basil and pizza crust) and be completely vegetarian. My family also likes pineapple pizza, which is like a Hawaiian Pizza, but without the ham. Pineapple Pizza has pizza crust, cheese, pizza sauce and pineapple.

Omelets are also very popular here as well. in them In addition to eggs, you can add anything that you want to them. In my scrambled eggs,  I like cheese and salt and pepper. In my ideal omelet, there are mushrooms, spinach and goat cheese and it is wonderful.

When we eat out, we normally go to places like Panera Bread , which has soup and sandwiches that we like. Giacomos Pizza has been voted the best pizza in our region. We also go to the Tomato Cafe for good pizza salad and breakfast.
