A discount on Nutella has led to violent scenes in a chain of French supermarkets, as shoppers jostled to grab a bargain on the sweet spread.

Intermarché supermarkets offered a 70% discount on Nutella, bringing the price down from €4.50 (£3.90) to €1.40.

But police were called when people began fighting and pushing one another

They are like animals. A woman had her hair pulled, an elderly lady took a box on her head, another had a bloody hand," one customer told French media.

Everything - it turns up in omelets, on toast, in sandwiches, on crepes, mixed into or garnishing dishes, in a multitude of desserts, as a topping for a coffee drink, and even for some alcoholic libations...You name it.

Europeans always laughed at Americans for our love of peanut butter, but I think the French and Italians go way beyond us!

Hazelnuts are a terrific crop. Everyone should be growing them. Easy.

If I had a time machine, I would tell the French in 1940 that the invading German tanks were filled with Nutella.

I never could understand the fascination with Nutella. Not something I would consider.
