PM me the next time - I happen to have excess "stock" right now, due to the generosity of one of our Swiss/German principals!

Also note that Nutella *is* available in most large cities in India, if you know the right places, but the stock is usually older, and you cannot control from which country it is sourced - it could be from the US, from Romania, etc.

Always remember that you cannot carry in jars of Nutella in your hand luggage anymore, due to the liquid ban! (it is in semi-solid form, right?)

One time in FRA I had to buy another rollaboard, and I checked in my stock as an additional checked-in piece - luckily I was flying in F!

I may have to take you up on that! (or I would be delighted to replenish your supply one day....)

I was only in BOM for a few hours before a month in Goa so no 'big cities' really available.

After a long travel delay rerouting me all over India on my way home to Germany, it was heaven to wake up in LH C and have the purser serve me coffee, croissant, and a packet of Nutella! :D

I would assume so. Passing through LAS last month on the way back to YYZ, someone in security had to surrender their jar of Peanut butter. If Peanut butter is regarded in such ways by security officials, I don't see it being any different for Nutella.

Thanks! ^

I would think that Goa might actually have some stores that carry it (although Goa is very spread out, so it might be a pain to travel from one end to the other to buy it...), given the amount of foreigners practically living and operating businesses down there - my friend has a nightclub in Goa, I'll ask him and advise...

I agree to that - one of the few good things in LH C! :p (hardly any time to sleep, when you are flying out at 0325 hours!! :eek:)

Hmmm I am going to India this weekend; maybe I should stock up on Nutella before I leave... . @:-)

Bumping this thread because I am hungry.

Does anyone enjoy the special editions Nutella? During WorldCup I bought and shipped the football 'jar' to my Italian friend in the US. I was in Italy a few weeks ago and looked longingly at the 5kg jar. Sadly I could not envision transporting, nor eating the contents of the jar.

It would appear that the special editions vary in Italy/France/Germany, at least based on my experiences....

Any special ones to share? Growing up, the football ones used to bore me, but as a poor student I had quite the nice set of drinking glasses courtesy of Nutella! :D
