Chicken piri piri
Wingstop, Burger King, and others have walked away from an industry commitment to avoid using fast-growing chickens
This is the central tension behind animal welfare: While the public want animal welfare reforms, it is simply not possible to meet anything even approaching current demand for animal products while maintaining a good standard of welfare.
All that these corporations are doing is acknowledging this obvious reality.
Is Nando's keeping up with the food world? Are Nando's vegan sauces a myth? Caavakushi found out how vegan friendly Nando's really is.
Tupac came back to life so we went to Nando’s and had some Peri Peri chicken together

Food #003: Battered cod & Portuguese (Nando's) rice
MADE: 26 MAR 2023
The reason behind this pairing is that I was craving fish and chips—but:
Fish and chips in local restaurants here is insanely overpriced
Chips are not exactly the healthiest choice
The fish was what I was craving anyway
The solution, therefore, was making the damned fish myself... so I did. Plus, I saw an article saying that battered fish went well with spicy rice. It was an epiphany—I did love Nando's rice when I tried it on my latest trip to Canada. So I armed myself with this recipe and this recipe for the rice, as well as the door stopper that is the Complete America's Test Kitchen Cookbook for the fish (a book recommended by my American friends, and ngl the recipes I tried so far are pretty good).
Changes I introduced:
(rice) 1 TEASPOON turmeric instead of 1 tablespoon good lord, I wanna taste some rice among all the yellow (btw rice I used is basmati)
(rice) more paprika because I don't have chili powder, only flakes
(rice) one chopped tomato on top of all the other veggies, because why the hell not
(fish) using sparkling water instead of beer, because there's no place for beer in this house 😾 (more seriously, I know beer batter is traditional, but alcohol is one of my strongest food aversions, and beer is easily the worst offender I can think of)
Eating a bit of fish that fell off while I cut it, I wasn't totally convinced. And then, I actually started eating. It was so good. Extremely messy to cook (mmmm oil flying everywhere), but just. So. Damn. Good. And the rice too, rice is pretty addictive 🙃
10/10 would recommend.
Oh, and don't be cheap with the fish. Fresh, quality fish is really what makes it imo.

A week of landmarks and sporting incidents colliding to reveal and expose human traits and quirks which I imagine (or hope) we are all subject to.

Patrick’s 17th birthday was additionally exciting this year because all his big brothers were in London and free to celebrate.
Being Paddy’s night, he gets to choose where to eat – and Nando’s it is. An upmarket fast-food chicken joint so not his parents’ preference and possibly not great for his very recognisable older brother. But credit to the other diners on this evening because Tom is not troubled even once for a photo – and not because the food is just so delicious.
And then on to a bar called Putt Shack – a fiendishly clever place combining crazy golf with alcohol.
