Americans FIRST TIME TRYING NANDO'S! (Shrewsbury, England)

all right right Cheers okay we dropped him there's a rental card we should not be doing this in a rental car someone healthy but thank you you're welcome that's true love right there those are so legit just absolutely Wow Oh good morning adventures morning so we are in the middle of our UK road trip we spent the last couple days in the Cotswolds it was beautiful lovely yeah it was great but now we are headed up to Snowdonia in Wales it'll be our first time in that part of Wales we've only ever been to Cardiff I think in Swansea so we only haven't seen hardly any we didn't know it's so close to everywhere it's just a three-hour drive to get there and we're going like completely up north I think we'll actually be north of the park on the water yeah it's gonna be awesome yes we're gonna make some cool videos up there and have some fun adventures up there so stay tuned for that stuff but today is mostly just gonna be a driving day because we have a long way up to Snowdonia so we figured we were gonna try some Nando's now we have never had Nando's it had forever yeah and we'd never come across it in the US because we actually read that they only opened Nando's in the u.s. in 2008 and they only have a handful of stores so we've just never even come across it until we came to the UK and we saw it and heard about it we were like holy cow what is this about because everyone says it's amazing and the chicken is awesome we got to try it so we're super excited to try it for the first time I always thought that it was gonna be like fried chicken which we try not to eat like yeah we try to eat a little healthier so we were always like oh well just get salads from like Waitrose or something when we're on the road but it's totally like grilled chicken yeah it's like decent quality stuff so we're really excited to actually try it and see for ourselves what it's actually like oh and we are very hungry so this is gonna be amazing alright let's go get some chicken the world the surprise that will be left with Richards mass register rise nabob chicken we have put in our order we are sitting here waiting we decided we're going to eat it out in the car since it's kind of loud in here but so the way name those works it's not really a fast-food joint it's more of like you can get your food fast but it's a sit-down place and you actually have kind of table service but since it's so loud we're just gonna go out go out and eat in the car so it can be nice and quiet for you guys you can actually get what we're saying so that way nobody can judge the amount of food we got and yeah we got a lot of service but they were so nice they gave us like the Nando's family discount or something cuz she heard our accent she was like oh where are you from and they were super nice about it is great like it was our first time so they recommended a lot of stuff so I think we got a job the best sampling we could possibly get I think we're gonna burn our mouths off of some of this this sauce all right we have eggs they were pretty busy in there so we had to wait a hot second so we worked up a bit of an appetite yeah oh man there's so much stuff in here they were so nice in there they gave us a menu we were like taking pictures of it so that we could remember everything and they're like do you wanna just take that with you sure we're not so now we have a souvenir menu we got boxes we got sauces we got more boxes it's a rental check this out I got my backpack brown bag on you guys it's inevitable that I spill this all over mine I can't without spilling so we're just gonna quickly go over all of the goodies that we've got first up we got some creamy mash which we read is supposed to be extra creamy next up we have the halloumi cheese [Music] little cheese chunks or I guess they're grilled I think you can get them fried too but it's supposed to go with this little sauce and put that in there so you don't forget these are all the sides that we're going through first so next up we have Perry Perry chips which are a lot more chips than I thought they were gonna be that's amazing and then I think our last side yeah is no we have one more thing oh yeah the rice this is spicy spicy rice they said it was really good even though it's a lot of carbs to have in one sitting it smells good yeah it does smell spicy our final side underneath this should be the sweet potato wedges all right Wow really legit like how I always wish mine looked in the oven but they never do we got half of the freakin chicken in here oh man we probably should have gotten the quarter there's a lot of chicken it smells so good it's got the medium peri-peri on there no I still can't get over that none of this stuff is fried I really thought it was like an unhealthy fried chicken like KFC chain yeah it's definitely not okay and then this one I'm sure you guys can tell by the box we're super excited about because it is their comp like they're 10 wings what was it how was it called chicken wing roulette yeah yeah so it's like a mix of all of them so some of these are gonna be extra hot some of them are gonna be plain and everything in between so this is gonna be an adventure I hope you get both of the extra hat I definitely hope that doesn't happen all right let's eat first up I'm trying this chicken this is the thing I'm most excited about because it's just like classic but you've got to get at Nando's so we didn't get it Forks when we were in there but we have these two little uh plastic spoons that we use kind of when we're traveling around so that's what I'm doing well we've been sitting here just kind of setting everything up and we I thought it was gonna be cold but isn't that cold at all it's nice and warm chicken looks nice and juicy you've got like these grill marks on the outside you can see the skin is kind of flaking off there this is gonna be it's gonna be real tasty yeah Oh ma'am ooh that is deliciously grilled to perfection like a barbecue the charring on that skin is absolutely delicious my mind is already blown because I did not have high expectations like we I think we said it earlier but I thought that Leena's was like just a crappy fast food chain I really didn't know exactly what it was about the first time we ever saw Nando's it was in like a service area like where we got petrol from and stuff and that's why that's just what made me think that it was like crappy fast food now I'm so sad that we've missed out on this we're gonna be in a lot of I'm eating too much of the chicken how to keep forgetting that we have we're gonna put this away for now but we will meet again sweet chicken next up we have the peri-peri fries so these are chips next up we have the peri-peri chips and they have this light dusting of the peri-peri powder I guess on the top there so that's a little flaky stuff that you seen I ordered a side of pear nay's which I guess is like a mayo sauce with the peri-peri sauce also in there and I think it'll go really well with the chips yeah well the fries are absolutely delicious the powder is a little spicy but it's not too bad they're a little soggy I think just because they've sat in this box for a little too long so you want to eat them a little bit quicker because some of them are still crunchy in there see if you can get one of the more crunchy ones pretty pretty soggy in there yeah oh yeah that powder is really tasty yeah yeah did you eat it without the sauce I tried one but it didn't have much on it's pretty good yeah get one with a bunch on there yeah they I wish they'd put more of the dust on there it's really nice huh oh man oh well the fries are really good I'm really excited next up we'll try the halloumi cheese cuz that was the one that we weren't we didn't know about and they said that would really round out the experience yeah she asked is there anything else we should try since it's our first time in Nando's and that's what they recommended we dropped him there's a rental card we should not be doing this in a rental car gonna trash this thing looks like a sweet chili sauce yeah okay so I'm not really sure how you would eat this normally it's just a big hunk of uh grilled cheese he didn't ask if we like grilled cheese I thought he meant like sandwiches cuz that's how we refer to them but maybe he just literally meant do you like cheese that is grilled which yes also I like that right at the same time mm-hmm so you're squishy sound okay well yeah really squishes it's a little strange but the cheese tastes amazing oh my gosh yeah it's kind of yeah it's kind of got like a thick grittiness to it doesn't it that's interesting the sauce is really interesting because it's kind of sweet yeah this cheese is squeakiest cheese I've ever eaten the squeaking is really weird I'm gonna put it in the mail so unhealthy but so good this is like sweet sauce with chili flecks it's really nice these are so good yeah a little charred outside is awesome all right next up let's try this heavenly creamy mash I think it also maybe was sitting for a second so it's hardened up a bit but just mashed potatoes oh you might have put in there I wouldn't say it's anything too crazy they're good though yeah do they usually have like some kind of gravy or something that you put on it I don't know we didn't get anything with it yeah they didn't really give us anything with it but I feel like it's missing some some sauce or gravy or something yeah they're good mashed potatoes but I mean how good can mash potatoes be nicely mixing the chicken in there or putting some sauce on there that would be really good they're pretty good mashed potatoes though they're pretty delicious before we go much further we want to talk a little bit about the history of Nando's so it actually started in 1987 and it's a south african chain so that's where it originated from 1992 is when they opened the first door in I think it was London and then since then I think there's well over 200 like 280 or so different shops all all over the UK and I think we mentioned this earlier but in 2008 is when they actually opened it in the USA so I think most of them on the East Coast because we've seen them yeah we haven't done much traveling in the East Coast Oh anytime we're on the East Coast we'll be keeping an eye out for this oh yeah we're gonna be seeking out Nando's and we're in the u.s. so they're popular for the peri-peri flavour I wasn't really familiar with Perry Perry so I just did a little reading on it before we went in and it's um pepper that I think originated in Africa and that's kind of what they use in all of the dishes here and now it's super popular and super delicious yeah but they do it in various spice levels so that everything is crazy spicy yeah like a chicken we ordered medium because they have the spice range playing all the way to extra hot so if you're feeling adventurous go for the extra hot I wonder how spicy this spicy rice is gonna be let's find out so you can see the rice has kind of a yellow hue to it there's some vegetables in there some peppers I guess I'm not thinking it's gonna it smells really good it doesn't smell like it's gonna be that spicy it's really good it reminds me a lot of the rice we were getting in like Costa Rica when we were down there it's got some good heat that is not too spicy but it's like at the perfect nice perfect combination that the potatoes and the chicken is excellent really spicy actually I'm impressed so the final side to try here before we dig into the chicken wings are the sweet potato wedges and they look really nice and they look really they look just like a straight-up sweet potato was cut stuck on a grill so you see all these little grill marks there yeah I might dip it in that Pyrenees down here it's gonna be so good sweet potato wedges are one of my favorites well they're so legit just absolutely Wow it tastes like a fresh sweet potato yeah you're biting into a straight-up fresh delicious sweet potato they have tons of sites but they also had sides of grilled vegetables which normally that's probably what I would have gone with but we wanted to try the the more classic sides technically this is a vegetable we're good last but not least we have our chicken wing roulette they look so beautiful good hottest one in the land I'm sure I will so I mean I want one that has a lot on it but that's probably more likely to be the spicy one but they look really good they're like so perfectly grilled they're a little bit juicy you can see the sauce on there it's not like doused in sauce it's not dripping with it you know which is awesome all right here we go chicken wait should we do one at this yeah yeah okay whoo they're still nice and warm all right Cheers oh man that's good chicken I'm feeling a little burn already so hot did you get a hot one I feel like we're on hot ones that chicken is absolutely excellent I'm pretty sure that I got the chili lime one really y'all this is so good you want the other oh thank you you're welcome that's true love right there I'm going to switch yeah you take this okay I'll take this so you're thinking this is chili want chili Lonnie used to tell me what you think mm-hmm definitely mm-hmm that's unique yeah that's really nice they're messing though you guys I can't keep my face clean so if I have something on my face I'm sorry yeah that one was nice it wasn't overly spicy I would probably guess it was like the medium or the hot no cuz this was medium and that one wasn't spicy this might be yeah maybe maybe that's just as spicy as it gets but it's not that spicy hmm me and that mean is freaking delicious though it's super juicy it just slips right off the bone I love chicken wings chicken wings are like my favorite these are messing you guys that one was pretty hot that was the hottest one so far that one's cooking cooking cooking my mouth oh it's getting hot guys I'm a Nando's convert this is absolutely delicious I don't know that it gets that much better oh my lips are burning no man the lime water is so good oh yeah so I used to actually work with a couple British guys and they introduced me to the concept of a cheeky nandos now I'm still not exactly sure what a cheeky nandos is I guess there's this whole meme about trying to explain it to Americans but rather than try to give you my horrible explanation of it all of the British viewers watching right now you should just write in the comments below tell us try to explain what cheeky Nando's means and the winner is the person who can give the most British sounding explanation so the more British it is better the more confusion the better also you guys let us know what your favorite sauce is from here and your favorite combination of your favourite dishes because we didn't we didn't get a chance to try everything there's so much stuff on here and they have salads and all kinds of healthy things so you don't have to risk it they have vegetarian options so if you are in the UK or anywhere that has a Nando's and you come across it definitely check it out cuz it's pretty legit stuff this was absolutely delicious we made an absolute mess in this car so we're gonna eat the rest of this food we're gonna clean it up and right back on the road [Music] did this phase on the outbreak response it's amazing why were they here what is going on I have so many questions where it starts the destination is on your right we made it to our Airbnb and they have the cutest little kitties oh man this one's sleeping with me tonight I don't care what you say there's another one over there who's a little bit more shy where are you going bro get over here whatever you're so cute this guy just came running up he wanted us I'll give it to you well we are going to head to the store and our idea is to get some vegetables to fry up and then mix it with all the leftover Nando's from earlier I'm gonna like it because I'm still dreaming about that Nando's I'm ready for round two but if you guys did enjoy watching us stuff our face with faces with Nando's make sure you leave a like on this video and if you're new here make sure you hit subscribe so you can see more adventures coming up in the UK so tomorrow supposed to be rainy of course but I think we're gonna make the most of it and the next day should be sunny so we'll do a hike and then we'll be off to Scotland man we're just like knocking out these countries well good night of injuries we'll see on the road
