Piri Piri Fried Satire

So for all you readers out there who, like me, were labouring under the misapprehension that Nandos is Portuguese I have something to tell you: Its actually a South African company! But Piri Piri is still a Portuguese word for chili apparently. Its all to do with those fun colonial times I've been reading up about. Yes, we Brits may have nicked Ketchup from Hong Kong and curry from India but the Portuguese left Mozambique in the mid-C20th with Piri Piri chicken.

While all appearances may be to the contrary, this blog is not the mere ramblings of a hungry madwoman. There is actually a point if you'll bear with me. After popping to Tottenham Court Rd to order some new lenses - all this legal studying is making me even more blind - I decided to pay a visit to my darling former chaplain, Fr PJ at the Catholic Chaplaincy. Fr PJ is South African and one of my inspirations for wanting to visit the country. Aside from making him very jealous of my plans to visit his homeland, we had a heated discussion about South African politics. I say heated because it mainly consisted of him showing me Nandos adverts which have a political spice. Here are my favourite courtesy of You Tube:

I can't imagine Pizza Express doing anything like this over here, but they sure could have spiced up the last election.
