Gimme A Break

The kids and I went to Nando’s this weekend. Gotta love their peri-peri chicken. Goodness, I think we’re seriously addicted to their flaming spicy chicken with a heat index to send you through the roof.

Now that they have bottomless refills on drinks, it’s really a big help when our tongues do heat up. I usually go with the ’hot’ option unless I’m super-inspired to set my tongue on fire for whatever reason.

The superhot option burns even my seasoned tongue and is almost impossible to eat without a fire extinguisher close at hand. I tried it once and immediately wish I hadn’t. My tongue definitely needs more conditioning before I can graduate to superhot .

• tongues on fire
