Why nandos is bad

Nando's is running out of its staple peri-peri chicken and has been forced to temporarily close around 50 of its stores as a result. Nando's chicken shortage is believed to be a result of employees within its supply chain getting caught up in the "pingdemic" — where until earlier this week staff were required to self-isolate if they have come into contact with someone with coronavirus from this week, fully vaccinated staff no longer have to self-isolate.

However, the chief executive of the British Poultry Council, Richard Griffiths, has said Brexit is to blame for the shortage — due to supply chains being hit by Brexit paperwork and immigration rules. In order to get things moving again and get that delicious peri-peri chicken back on all of its customers' plates, Nando's has offered to loan out some of its employees to its supply chain.

But this was still behind restaurants, which were found to be serving an average of 1, calories. According to the study Hungry Horse meals had an average of 1, calories, while JD Wetherspoon meals came to 1, calories. And perhaps quite surprisingly packing in an impressive 1, calories onto their plates, those Nando's have become just that little bit cheekier. Universities Browse the top rated Universities.

When lunchtime finally rolled around, I needed moisture, so I opted for my first bottomless refill DC of course , coupled with the quinoa and sweet potato salad, and chicken with Mango and Lime. My aim was to go up the spice levels as the week progressed, because sometimes I feel ashamed that I choose the wuss's spice level - my own father thinks red peppers are 'spicy' so let's just say heat tolerance does not run in my family.

The salad was solid, but seeing as it was a boiling hot day outside and I'd spent my lunch break in a Nando's-cum-basement off Piccadilly Circus, I took a frozen yoghurt to go to eat in the sunshine. I'd never had a Nando's dessert before - and this was pleasant, if a little plain vanilla is the basic bitch of desserts, don't me. Didn't stop me from refilling my yog three times though greedy. My mood was redeemed in the evening by takeaway Butterfly chicken, the creamy mash and macho peas.

I don't ever pick mash because I can't quite shake off memories of the claggy shit you got served at school dinners with an ice cream scoop, but this was buttery and delicious - a hot take right there. There's also something so extra about having Nando's at home - the lack of bottomless refills is of course not ideal though. After my absolute disaster of a Day 1 breakfast, I made a version of chicken breast, spicy peas and macho peas, using the Nando's-themed shiz you can buy in the supermarket.

It was reaaaally salty I went a bit wild on the Peri salt but was edible. I started to wonder if you could die from eating too much chicken, and while this was unconfirmed by any medical research or study, I decided to switch things up with a a Steak Prego roll for lunch. I'd never let my eyes reach the non-chicken section of the menu because, why - but this steak sandwich was actually amazing.

Why the hell hadn't I been eating this before? Dinner rolled around, and I was feeling rebellious after my reckless menu choice at lunch, so I added Chicken livers to my pretty simple chicken butterfly, sweet potato mash and macho peas.

I'd always looked at this item on the menu and thought - who the HELL orders that? But, dear reader, I actually thought the livers, while looking pretty grim in the takeaway box, were alright. Very rich, but a decent addition to my meal. Who even am I? B: Custard tart L: Wrap with halloumi and mushroom, macho peas D: Hummous, Chicken thighs , peri-salted chips and macho peas, Coconut gelado.

How do the Portuguese eat these for breakfast OK I don't know if they do. I need protein in my life for all meals, otherwise I peak full of sugar and joy, and then crash with regret. At lunch, I got a takeaway and decided a veggie wrap and macho peas was a good plan for eating in the sun. By pm though, I was hungry again - so when dinnertime came, I went hard and got a three course Nando's, the first of my life.

I shared the hummous with my husband, knocked back a heartier chicken thighs, chips, and macho peas again , and then finished off with the Coconut Gelado. By this point, I was also starting to tire of the bottomless refills - despite my pretty amazing caffeine tolerance I can have two bottles of Pepsi Max and feel fine, check me out , all those bubbles weren't making me feel so great in the bloat department.

I was going to need to wear stretchy culottes to my next Nando's trip.
