Melbourne exhausts Australia's supply of Nutella by cramming it into donuts - Polidicks

Melbourne bakers are being forced to use smaller, more expensive jars aimed at households for their baked goods. Ferrero Australia has confirmed that commercial-size three-kilogram plastic tubs of Nutella are out of stock, with a new shipment from Italy not due until August 7. Two milk bars in Melbourne's northern suburbs are believed to have helped spark the city's most recent Nutella obsession with their chocolate-hazelnut filled doughnuts. Mick's Place in Thomastown and Jimmy's Place in Fawkner have more Facebook fans than most people can dream of, thanks in large part to their custom-made treats. Zena Samia, of Jimmy's Place, says she may soon have to rely on the more old-school jam and custard-filled doughnuts and hopes customers remain loyal until the Nutella drought breaks. Rukshan De Silva, manager of wholesale supplier Campbell's Cash and Carry in Preston, Melbourne, said he was desperate for the new shipment of Nutella to arrive after selling out of both three-kilogram tubs and one-kilogram jars in recent weeks. "But [Ferrero] have already told me I can only have 10 pallets of Nutella from the next shipment… I think they were really caught off guard by this [doughnut] craze." De Silva's store supplies the Reservoir bakery that makes the hit "Donutella" doughnuts sold at Mick's Place, which has racked up 17,000 Facebook likes in recent months. De Silva says the Mick's Place baker had been buying 500-1000 kilograms of Nutella from Campbell's Cash and Carry each week, but he added such demand was no longer unique. "If I look at the last 10-week period we sold 40-50 pallets of Nutella [or 7200-9000 kilograms] … A few months ago we were selling about five pallets [2700 kilograms] over a 10-week period.[/QUOTE] [URL]http://www.goodfood.com.au/good-food/food-news/nutella-shortage-sparked-by-melbourne-doughnut-craze-20150728-gilb29.html[/URL]

this sounds amazing it's been too long since i got some fresh doughnuts; i must take this adventure soon

But a xen master once said a doughnut without a hole is a Danish Also I knew someone would eventually find a use for the stuff

[QUOTE=Sableye;48311511]But a xen master once said a doughnut without a hole is a Danish[/QUOTE] All things lead back to Denmark

[QUOTE=Sableye;48311511]But a xen master once said a doughnut without a hole is a Danish Also I knew someone would eventually find a use for the stuff[/QUOTE] I think what you're thinking of is a Bismarck, Danishes are long pastries often filled with fruit. At least around here.

And here I am existing in this world and have yet to even taste this brown sugary substance One day perhaps

[QUOTE=greasemunky;48311758]May you one day feel the warm embrace of our one true deity upon thine tongue[/QUOTE] I still don't get why anybody thinks this There's like a million other brands of chocolate spread and lots of them are way better than nutella, and I was kinda grossed out first time I tried it.

[QUOTE=greasemunky;48311758]May you one day feel the warm embrace of our one true deity upon thine tongue[/QUOTE] Then probably a shot to the knee, people can be violently allergic to nuts of any kind

[QUOTE=Karmah;48311576]And here I am existing in this world and have yet to even taste this brown sugary substance One day perhaps[/QUOTE] that's it i'm sending you some right now! :v:

I have no nutella right now. Help me please.

I had one of these a couple of weeks ago, I got icing sugar all over my dark blue pants.

Things that aren't really that great but people go out of their way to be obsessed to the point of being cringe worthy with them.

We just started selling these things at my cafe a few weeks ago. Everyone's gonna crack it when we have to put the prices up

We've had Nutella donuts in Canada at Tim Hortons for months now. I've never had one though.

I've had Nutella before. It was okay.
