US vs UK Nando’s | Food Wars
Bruh the UK guy was more enthusiastic in this video than any other, shows how good Nandos is
I swear that guys dad must fund this TH-cam channel, personality of a shoelace.
Cheeky nandos with the lads
@@chirag4122 Its just more subdued in a subtle deadpan way. I like it and it's a good contrast to the eccentric american guy. If it was 2 eccentric people i don't think it would be as good.
Nandos is shite
Thing is Nandos is actually not that great and is overpriced for what it actually is.
Just from the thumbnail I was so scared Joe wasn’t going to be in this series anymore and my heart sunk. Medha is awesome but I love Joe 😂
No worries. Now you have us both!
@@JoeAvella Oh, thank goodness. I was actually afraid to click on this video just in case you announced that you're leaving the show or something! 😅
@@sugarmunkayo that’s what 5 Guys wants you to believe!
@@JoeAvella loll Joe has beef with 5 guys and I’m here for it
I was just about to comment that lol 😥
I just laughed when Harry and Medha said "Suck it, Joe!"
@abbsnn cose copied
@abbsnn cose that doesn’t sound fun
Triple h and shawn michaels would be proud...
Fun fact from an ex-nandos employee: Extra hot is literally just more of the hot sauce applied when it's on the grill. It's not actually a different sauce or spice level.
Yeah that’s just from I’ve seen working on front grill.
makes sense considering some places extra hot is way hotter than others. I guess its down to however generous the cook gets with the sauce.
In australia we have a entirely different sauce for xtra hot
@@lachlanfarah5180 they’re talking about when they cook it with the sauce
@@lowitg obviously?
Am I the only one who thought that America didn’t have Nando’s
Edit I’m from the uk lol
Same
Yh sameee
I’m from the DMV, so I thought Nando’s was everywhere
i live in Maryland and didnt even know
I knew they a couple that’s about it. I know it’s very rare to find one
Our most requested chain! Unfortunately there are no Nando’s on the west coast. Luckily our friend Medha stepped into help us out. She did an awesome job! I’m so jealous they got all that delicious chicken...
Nandos is the best
That’s a shame but at least we still got food Wars
Loved seeing Medha on an episode of Food Wars!
o m g, dude I'm watching this show because of you, I like ur jokes and everything, hope I'll see u next time, pog
Suck it Joe😂
For once a chain which is more widely known in the UK lol.
Harry bursting into the chicken wings song is amazing
Joe is that one friend who's always like "You guys are so lame." But means it lovingly .
@@isme4234 joe mama
@@isme4234 lmao
Joe us like barney stinsons
If there's ever a live action adaption of Rick & Morty, Joe needs to play Rick
@@calamitygoku8746 ye
I love how in the us they say jumbo cause they know someone will eat the whole thing by themselves but in uk they say family. Lol
Nope, jumbo and family are usually just different sizes lol. I’m sure there are a few people that would eat a family by themselves too though lol.
Those are two different options if you rewatch that section they literally say the jumbo comes with extra portions for “One” person while the Family UK is a group meal made for separate people
UK menu had it as Jumbo until about a year and a half ago
Harry and Medha: Suck it Joe
Joe: *h i d e t h e p a i n*
Us watching at home: ...that's rough, buddy
Nando's should move into my palace's food court. I'd invite Joe over so he can enjoy it with me and Dennis Rodman
I’ve always wondered have the 2 people in this series ever met😂
Online probably to go hrough what foods they're doing and the process of them doing it.
I would’ve rioted if Joe wasn’t a part of this. Medha was great but Joe has my heart.
Ikr...i saw the thumbnail and like "yo where did Joe go? Is there any trouble?"
Glad that isnt the case
Alright calm down she’s so cute too tho , she made the video
Joe being the bubble for this episode was hilarious 😂😂
The less work for me the better
@@JoeAvella i was scared you werent doing thins anymore
@@sureerabdi4939 I’m here until I’m fired!
@@JoeAvella lol
Yeah
I know this is a UK / US comparison.. but it would have been good to see UK vs Nando’s South Africa, as that’s where it comes from.
Dude! Was so mad about it 😅
I’m so blessed that I lived in a US area that has Nando’s, especially since the place I worked had one inside of it. As I’ve now moved to the UK, I definitely miss the chicken thigh skewers plus sangria and am surprised about how many more chips we get in England. But the halloumi and vusa sauce are amazing (even though the sauce isn’t hot at all)
When i first saw this, I was like “What even is Nando’s” but when Joe said it was in 4 states, i was “oh yeah, states i don’t live in” welp, time to start driving to Maryland ig...
same
@ddoggsta the only thing is I live in the us....
@ddoggsta its good though also it should only take 30 mins
@@The_Witch_Lab its not that great and this is coming from a british person
@@user-ne4os8hv8x from what i remember when i was living in India it was really good, might’ve gotten worse tho
This became one of my favourite series on TH-cam. It shows all the US stereotypes 😂
Worked for this chain in South Africa for 7 years....❤️...still my favourite
He even brought out the Nando’s skank 😂. Legendary video
I love nandos, but the South African Nandos is definitely the best version ever. Especially if you like your peri peri.
british nandos are the most popular in the world and are the best
@@stanleytaylor9498 until they travel and actually taste the real deal.
The best peri peri chicken in the world is found in Portugal. Nandos is just a copy of portuguese/Moçambiquean/brasilian street food.
@@brianmoshoma443 uk owns nandos now u know
@@stanleytaylor9498 *south africa... not the uk, and a country can't own a food chain.
Think Medha did very well in this episode. Hope to see her on another Food Insider series or maybe on a special version of food wars.
I am sorry, but she is no match for Joe
@@azeemniazi8292 it’s not about matching. Different personalities. We’re like the avengers. Or justice league? I dunno I’ve never seen those movies. But you get what I mean
@@JoeAvella Never watched Avengers or Justice League ??? Come on man, you're better than this (Tʖ̯T)
@@tineshalagesu9211 I have never seen any of the recent years Marvel movies & I enjoy superhero movies. They have just not excited me via trailers.
It might be nice if they have a food wars with two from each country, assuming they restaurant have area specific products
Nice, I've seen Medha's videos on Chicago restaurants, and she always does a great job. Very personable and engaging host.
I just stumbled upon these guys and I'm inlove already! So interesting to see the differences. Love from South Africa! 😃
As a South African, I'm upset we weren't included in this episode. Nandos in SA just hits different
The chicken taste better to me here in the us , I never ate the chicken when I lived in South Africa just not as good!
God damn why y’all get so upset over nothing
Shut up
They normally do UK vs US, also in the UK, Nando's is literally the goat
A weird thing to get upset about in a “UK vs USA” series ...
If you want proper spice you need to try the South African nandos. You can legitimately feel the spice burning your lips and you cry a lil
I will say tho, their heat levels went down. I remember as a child, having the extra hot burn your lips to the point where you sit with a cold cloth or something over your lips to soothe the burn. That just hasn't happened again and I miss it
I want it
@@arshad887 maybe you were just a child so it seemed spicier
I love their black sauce
Nah that’s just u that it’s too spicy for
Nando's: We have a Great Imitator Wrap
Us: Well that sounds like a good alternative to meat-
Nando's: oh yeah we added a product from female beetles, by the way
Us: *...they had us in the first half, not gonna lie*
We don't have Nando's unfortunately in NY (although they definitely should expand to other states; NY metro also has a sizeable Portuguese community so they'd do well), but my local market has their peri-peri sauce so it's the closest thing I'll get to a Nando's for the time being. I use it to make Chicken Mozambique. But seriously the fact Nando's isn't all over the US is a SIN
I feel like there is literally no reason why I should enjoy this video so much. Knowing this info does not impact my life AT ALL and changes NOTHING!!!! Yet I LOVE THIS! Why?!!!!
it's good!
Ever since i moved to DC about 6 or 7 years ago, ive gone to nandos like at least once a month. Its so good
We need an Insider episode on how Food wars are made/filmed!
👏👏👏
Finally one that I care about. Also next time compare uk vs South Africa nandos
Lol except no one cares about SA. Let alone enough to drive a video like this. It's a basically non-existent media market on the international stage and most of the country's a dysfunctional & corrupt hellhole.
@@Cooe. Nandos is South African its the original?!! Its really not a hell hole either. of youve never been there just keep quiet and stop being childish
Being from South Africa I really love this nandos addition. Now I'm craving it and it's 3am😭
So glad you guys are back for a second series... well done Medha
I went to Nando’s in South Africa and absolutely loved it, glad they’re coming to the states
i’ve never seen Harry this enthusiastic i love it
ahggg i’ve been waiting for this but omg i work at nandos in the US in the dc area and somethings were unfortunate to hear :( we do sell the whole chicken it’s about $20 and you don’t need it in a meal, also we sell our wings in 6 as well so it’s not just 12 or 24 and we have 3 for the kids, and in the US you can add chicken to a sandwhich just tell the cashier press the add chicken and it will be the same flavor you chose prior, also we have peritamer and it’s used on the kids menu usually but customers also order it, and lastlyyy we also offer the cara viva white and red wine because they’re the house wines of nandos in the US but omg that garlic perinase sounds good mhm but overall i lovedddd the video so happy y’all finally did this!
The editing on these only gets better and better, good job editor/editors. :]
So excited whenever these are uploaded but also existential dread they are one more closer to running out of places.
Honestly, their choc-o-lot cake is one of the best chocolate cakes I have had. It has a great buttercream to sponge ratio.
Medha has so much energy!
The Nandos Black Card is usually given to people who have done some kind of charity or promotion work that made the company a lot of money
@Harry Kersh lol
@Harry Kersh my dad met the Nando’s owner
Editor is really having fun in editing these videos and i like it too😂
The fact that I am watching these series altho I am not from UK or USA makes me excited...and hungry😋
Wondering who will walk in to nandos and order that box of green peas, haibo🙈 in SA the mielie with the butter and peri spice ke monate! Proudly South African💯
Lol😂😂
Would've been nice to have South African Nandos to compare as well
"Flexing his black card" made me go wait what
I can't wait until Harry and Joe meet up IRL and go to Nando's together
Which Harry, the one from the Sidemen?
The Nando’s Skank song brought back so many memories
Do the og nando's. Where it originates South Africa😍😍😍
YES
Where my South Africans at?
They won’t coz it’s just USA vs uk it prbly wouldn’t taste much different though
Plus... We here in S.A. dont get the variations they have else where. Our menu has become more and more limited.
Portuguese chicken
good episode! medha did a good job for this episode can’t wait to see the next ones with all 3 of you!
When he ate the chicken wing with the XX Hot sauce I could really feel that in my own mouth
Shellac is also in Nail Polish - it makes things look shiny - so its also on sweets that have a candy coating like smarties
I will never forgive Nando’s for removing the Fino Pitta from their menu
It was the red pepper dip starter for me! Unacceptable
Jheeze I agree
THEY'VE DONE WHAT?!
Biggest mistake they made...**pours Peri Tamer for a moment of silence**
i think i teared up when i read that, i always wondered why I couldn't find it anymore
As an Australian that religiously gets nandos 2 times a week, I approve
As a South African, where Nando’s is originally from, I’m confused as to why this is a US vs UK comparison. I mean, if they’re going to compare it, at least compare it to the original 🤷🏽♂️
@@armaniquintas it is always US vs UK, they aren't just going to suddenly change it.
@@armaniquintas I don't know how big Nando's is in SA, but here in the UK it's a huge thing. Just because it originated in SA, doesn't mean you appreciate it the same way we do!
Nah, man, Kingsleys Chicken beats Nandos hands down.
@@swayfitness5777 Nando's has been in South Africa since the late 1980's and has grown to be almost as popular here as the other big fast food franchises like KFC. The only thing stopping it from being as big as other chicken fast food places like KFC is their price. Nandos is considerably more expensive than KFC, mostly because they are much healthier than KFC, and so KFC has a competitive advantage in that regard. South Africa has a large population of Portuguese that came over in high numbers from Mozambique in the 1970's (when the Mozambican civil war started after they got independence from Portugal) and there are now 3rd and 4th generation Portuguese citizens who grew up in South Africa and our culture is well known in SA, further contributing to Nando's popularity. The main difference I can see between Nando's in SA and the UK is that here it's fast food chain. It's fancier and a bit more upmarket than a typical fast food restaurant but fast food nonetheless. In the UK it seems to be more of typical sit down restaurant kind of experience. But believe me when we say it's highly appreciated here. It's become a big part of SA culture even though it's roots are Portuguese/Mozambican in origin.
I didn't realize we had these! I'll have to give it a try next time I am in the eastern US.
I’ve been to the Nandos in Maryland. The chicken is good and I’ve had the livers as well, also good. The thing that I like about Nandos is that it’s marinated and grilled/broiled. They also have sides that are not fried and taste like homemade not fast food versions, like coleslaw and mashed potatoes. You can also specify the level of spice for your chicken.
Harry bringing summer vibes with that fresh new hair cut
I guess this is the funniest video of this series, this fun should go on in next ones too
As an Aussie, I’m loving the Bundaberg Ginger Beer that somehow made it onto the American menu👍.
Hell yea, the one I was waiting for
Medha killed it here very funny. Fake out was great
I love how calm and passive the british guy is in comparison of the american one.
I guess you're a newbie here.
I will say as a former nando’s employee the chicken comes in twice to three times a week fresh. Also in the states you can get peri tamer it’s secret. And the corn is something you can get in the states during summer because it’s in season.
Less goo more uk vs us of fastfood chains ive never ever seen in my country
The bottled sauce they sell in stores is like a fifth of the heat than when you get it from the restaurant
Absolutely LOVED this episode Medha is such a vibe
Very odd thing to say overall
This is the best thing ever on TH-cam.
I adore Harry. He's so deadpan in the best way. Haters have no taste.
Love that Joe keeps popping up throughout the video 🤣
I order the periperi salt from a export shop for my chips and popcorn.. It's soo gooood
I'm just hurt the home of Nandos, South Africa, doesn't have these nor half of these options. 😪
Probably because of the poverty rate. Not crapping on SA, but it's not exactly a developed country, and the wealth disparity is much more extreme.
@@kylem1112 South Africa is really not that poor, it's can be compared to India and Brazil, if they were that poor, how could they afford to host the world cup and even nominate itself to host the Olympics at one point
Great South African export 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Mozambique actually XD
@@ToastieBRRRN nope S.A Chain founded by Portuguese immigrants. Google is a wonderful tool...
@@sketch3744 exactly
@@ToastieBRRRN nope is a South African company look it up
South Africa is one of the worst countrrid in the world. Oh sorry you made nandos. Hahaha ha
I love that you introduced them to the Nando’s skank 😂😂
I’m in Illinois and we recently discovered Nando’s. Can confirm- it’s amazing!
Just watching this series comparing the USA and UK’s menu to our menu here in Australia 🇦🇺
I mean Nando's is a South African fast food chain so.
In UK is fancy fast food
They stole it from us 🇿🇦
@@nandinhocunha440 It is also a fancy fast food chain in our country. Don't eat there often, its super expensive.
“Food Wars” is the “Worth It” of Food Insider
My favourite Nando’s here in uk is- chicken breast burger with mango and lime sauce (or lemon & herb if mango lime & lime is unavailable) served with a side of chips & a side of spicy rice.
this video series is such a good idea, especially when I'm not able to go to actual nandos
"USA chicken portions size babyyyyy" mean while 8000 Americans have died of obesity during that sentence
Nando's is amazing now im craving it 🤤
I love these guys XD.
Medha was so adorable!
I work at the nandos in DC. And we do sell whole chickens outside of the platter. It’s 20.49
The three host format worked REALLY WELL, more Medha pls
That was my favorite episode so far , Medha was great, and really enjoyed the suck it joe.
"thanks"
Finally. Great episode!
I've been waiting for this food war...
As a South African peas do not belong on a Nando’s menu
I literally thought the same thing
They should have added pap
Siff
@@--beru--7054 lool
Maryland, Virginia and DC are basically the same place lol so its really only 2 places here in the US...and that still upsets me. Missing Nandos :(
Wow I just got an ad for nando's, right bang in the middle of the video
loving this trio!!
thanks
Yo she sounded like a straight up mob boss when she said, "It's sounds like you are trying to attack the US Harry. We Don't Like That." Hahaha
That's so gangster
Harry is my favourite and did he just sing about chicken?....
SIR YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SING YOU ARE AMAZING
Watching this while fasting got me salivatin'
Ramadhan will not stop me from watching these
At least today you can enjoy yourself.
Ramadan is a farce. We fast for weeks at a time. And don't stuff our faces at night
Love how joe popped in lol too funny
Had Nandos in Toronto while waiting in line for Jollibee. It’s good, espcially the sauces.
⭐️ for the Bundaberg Ginger Beer, I live near where it’s brewed in Queensland Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you for making this possible, Medha!
