Speaking of Coleslaw I wondered why so many of the pseudo-American places are now just using 'slaw instead, why does it have to be 'slaw now coleslaw?
by chance I got chatting to a chef who has worked in the USA in the past and he told me the difference was that 'slaw is generally a load of diced vegetables served with a dressing like lime juice or vinegar, rather than the traditional mayonnaise that would be used in coleslaw.
But 'slaw is definitely now a thing as well.
'slaw. I've noticed that too. by chance I got chatting to a chef who has worked in the USA in the past and he told me the difference was that 'slaw is generally a load of diced vegetables served with a dressing like lime juice or vinegar, rather than the traditional mayonnaise that would be used in coleslaw.

You know Nando's is South African and came here (UK) in 1992?
No, I did not. But piri piri sauce is Portuguese in origin. Just like Benihana may be American, but it's Japanese cuisine.Does kinda back up the point that it's not a new thing though.
Ive been a couple of times but it's really average overpriced Chicken - I really don't understand its rampant popularity.
Another I've just been reminded of:
The need to have the funniest chalkboard outside your pub in order to get the most likes and shares on Facebook.
One I've just seen shared online "All Americans Must Be Accompanied By An Adult"
But there are many others, and none of them have yet beaten the classic brass plaque offering Free Beer Tomorrow.

I always thought it was Portuguese. Burger King is loads better than McD's as well.

Speaking of bottles of water, "Staying hydrated", my kids aren't allowed to go 10 mins playing any sort of sport at school or out of it without having to keep hydrated!
Millions of people in very hot countries manage to last all day during Ramadan, but apparently we can't walk 500 yards in 10 degrees and drizzle without a drink of water, FFS.
This means my house and wife's car is a sea of water bottles and, bottles of water, sometimes you can't see the passenger foot well for the bloody things, because all 4 stone of them can't drink 6 gallons of water a day, and therefore take a sip then move on to the next activity's bottle...like getting out the car into the house, "stop kids, take a break before you get to the front door, your dangerously close to turning into dust"
Here is a video summing it up nicely
Exactly the same in my house, we have a kitchen drawer full of bloody plastic bottles, including one for the dog!Millions of people in very hot countries manage to last all day during Ramadan, but apparently we can't walk 500 yards in 10 degrees and drizzle without a drink of water, FFS.

Being "professionally offended", often about about the most banal and inane of things that usually have f
k all to do with you.
Usually enacted by spoilt, middle-class social justice warriors who are such little snowflakes that they can't stand anyone challenging their narrow, politically correct world view and then get all angsty and violent when this happens.Oh the irony.
