Hazelnut Chocolate Spread

edited August 2022 in Freebies

This is a very simple everyday prop. Many people have a little pot of hazelnut chocolate spread in their larder, and many of them come in a reusable jar. 

This jar can frequently be reused as a drinking tumbler. 

There are two props, a jar and lid. There are also three material settings, full, empty and labels washed off.

Hope it's useful as-is. I am going to use it in an additional freebie soon..

Regards,

Richard.

    Very nice, useful, every day sort of thing. Fills a void in among the swords, guns, and assorted weird stuff. Looks nice too. Thanks!

    Yep. For some reason, I can't bring myself to create swords, guns etc. Might have something to do with growing up in West Germany during the cold war, and for two years we had a grab bag in the car so we could escape back to the UK at 10 minutes notice and still have pyjamas and a set of clothes. It did not endear me to weapons & warfare. Regards, Richard.

    Sounds rough, but even so, being in another country I'll bet it was an experence you haven't forgotten. When I was in the early years of school I remember the "duck and cover" drills we that were supposed to save our butts incase of a atomic attack. Don't think they would have really helped. Later on I had to spend four years in the Navy. Hated the Navy, but got to do things and see places I never been able to since then, so, in looking back it was worth it. Well, I'll take that back in one smallish instance. I got to spend a month and a half in the west midlands in England when the company I worked for sent me there for training at the parent company (Dowty Mining Equipment Ltd). Only time I've been out of the US since the Navy, some fifty years ago.

    Must admit I did enjoy living in West Germany. I am ashamed to admit that I learnt much less German than I should have done. A combination of being lazy and the locals wanting to practice English made it easy to avoid learning too much German. However, I can still navigate my way through the shops reasonably well in German, which is useful, and it feels more like 'home' than any non-anglophone country. And I do wish the UK had a lot of the organisational abilities shown by Germany's local authorities. The roads, public utilities and amenities are all superb in comparison to ours. Must admit I feel sorry for you being condemned to see the Midlands for 6 weeks... ;) Regards, Richard

    I agree with alot of what you said. I worked for a Germany company for twenty two years afer the fifteen with the British company, all in the underground mining equipment design, manufacture, and sales. Never got a chance to go to the plants in Germany though. Did learn a few German words, but not many, mostly from the Germans that worked here. Things really went downhill the last five years after being bought, then re-bought by two Amercian companies, Bucyrus, then Caterpillar. "BIG" company mentality!!!!

     

    Please, I wasn't "condemned" to the Midlands. I enjoyed every single minute of it. Got to meet people I'd talked to via phone, telex, and Fax machines (they were very new back then).  They were wonderful hosts, them, and their families both. Took me all kinds of places, Bath, London, Salisbury, across the border into Wales, Forest of Dean via the Severn Estuary and bridge, monasteries, castles, Roman villas, cathedrals, and pubs (lots and lots of pubs). l lived in a B&B in Cheltenham, but got to travel round thanks to them. Good thing everyone was so friendly, the company wouldn't let me get a car on my own, so just about everybody I'd dealt with long distance took me around. Saw alot of the typical tourist places and many places that they don't normaly see.

    Looks really cool (like all of your stuff), but only Nutella is Nutella. wink

    I was attempting to avoid any product trademark issues, but I agree, only Nutella tastes like itself. There are others, but generally not as nice, however I do like the Aldi own brand equivalent.

    Regards,

    Richard.

    If you ever happen to make it to Sardinia look out for something called "Noccio-Mel" from a company called L'Isola del Miele (Island of Honey). It's a creme made from 65% sardinian honey and 35% hazelnuts. Otherworldly delicious. They sell over the internet, but P&P is extremely expensive. I haven't found any sellers here in germany and even on Sardinia it's not widely available, as it's a quite small company from the town of Gonnosfanadiga, specialised in selling honey.
