The great Nutella test - NA vs. EU

One smells nuttier and looks smoother (melted) than the other.  They're pretty close - but the european one is slightly tastier, creamier, and nuttier.  Two blind testers and two non-blind testers of whom two were european (French & English) and two NA (Canadian & American). The NA has modified palm oil and cocoa whereas the EU one has vegetable oil and fat reduced cocoa.To Ferrero Roche - WE WANT THE EUROPEAN VERSION!!!

Been keeping myself busy with recruiters and interviews, fingers crossed that I will find that job and that it will also find me in mutual good company!  Threading the needle with a string of biopharma is a long and patient task.
