Nando's: Perinaise

£1.50 Sainsbury's (265 g)

Like a bathroom visit after too much Encona, uksaucereview is setting our kingdom alight. My inbox has been absolutely buzzing of late with death threats from Crucials, nudes from Old Mother Hubbard, and, of course, fan mail and requests. And so, my dear saucerors, it is on our fifth post that I present the first review of a fan requested sauce.

Unfortunately, the lucky request is for Nando's Perinaise. Initially you might be drawn in: the Nando's Sauce Department have had a marketing blinder here, imaginatively portmanteauing their Peri-Peri and Mayonnaise based sauce into 'Perinaise'. However, as you take your first gobble of your well-endolloped chip, it is with regret that you realise the Nando's Sauce Department spent their entire imagination and cheeky budget on the name, leaving nothing to the sauce. Perinaise has incredibly little to it, in terms of taste it's like a tomatoey wall filler and it's claim to be hot is a complete lie - Old Mother Hubbard's nudes have more spice. The only commendation I can give this sauce is it structurally sound and it holds its shape well. Just as all good wall fillers should do.

Verdict: Cheeky Nan-Don't get this
