Waitrose decided to stock this. Who knows how long for so I bought some even though I have never eaten it. Crazy I am. Any thoughts about it?

Have to admit I’ve never eaten it.. the red peppers heat may make it or break it. Good luck!

Not only have I not eaten it I have also never heard of it. nduja? It looks like its been misspelled. ... Going by my pronounciation, sounds like it could be either Vietnamese or Italian. ...If I had to take a stab at the definition, I would suggest either indecent or nude. What does it mean BTW?

Apparently about 10 years ago nduja (think n-doo-ya) took the London food enthusiasts by storm (I escaped this by living in rural France). It is a pork paste made fiery by local chillies grown in a small town in Calabria. This upsurge in foodie interest raised it from Italian peasant food to culinary stardom. It was a shooting star, however, and has fizzled out. This happens frequently and then the new food settles back into the everyday. Think of Kiwis (originally known in the UK as Chinese gooseberries until clever NZ marketing people changed the name), hummus (Waitrose was the first supermarket to sell it), yogurt and quinoa.

In the latter 1960s or perhaps the early 1970s, smetana (soured cream, not the composer) made an appearance in UK shops. As I recall it was marketed as if it was a type of Yoghurt. I haven't seen it since.
