Notable Moments
I'm half Kenyan, so I'm not unfamiliar with spice, but I can't sit here and say that at Nando I'm getting anything past Perry Tamer.
My mouth hurts.
The reviewer's companion expressed worry about the reviewer's eyes watering from the spice, showing genuine concern during the challenge.
The Verdict
While the Perry Tamer sauce impressed the reviewer, the Wings of Death challenge proved to be genuinely too spicy, even for someone with a background in handling spicy food. Nando appears to be suitable for those who enjoy milder sauces like Perry Tamer, but the extreme heat options are strictly for seasoned spice enthusiasts.
