I swear the extra flavour in their extra hot sauce makes it less hot than the hot one. Or maybe the extra hot burned my tastebuds to a crisp.
None of their sauces are particularly hot. They only use birds eyes chillis that cap out at about 100k on the scoville scale.
I've realised recently that sauce is a general UK crutch. I knew like 5 ketchup kids growing up who ate everything with ketchup. Might be why we're known as a having bland food because we drown everything in sauce or gravy
Our national dish is literally dried toast with some saucy beans
All food is merely a medium for sauce.
This is the way
Me when I was told hummus is a condiment
What? Our national dish is stuff like the Sunday roast. We didn't even have baked beans until the last century and beans on toast is a comfort food not a national bloody delicacy.
The reason our more traditional dishes from the pre imperial era weren't highly spiced is because we simply didn't have access to them. We used things like sauces, chutneys, pickles, etc to account for that.
Never been. Am I missing out?
IMO, no. There are a billion good places to eat while in the UK but I don't think Nando's is one of them.
It always struck me as a triumph of hype, rather than the quality of the food.
Nandos used to be good for quick and easy fast food that was satisfyingly spicy to the average persons pallet (personally I find their top level sauce is only warm to me). There's nothing wrong with that, people like and want fast food when they're in a rush or on the lash, or the like. These days it's prices are too high to meet that criteria due to various factors.
