They’ve got rid of the only thing that I considered healthy and filling to eat at McDonald’s, grilled wraps. They’ve just lost my family’s business as there is nothing for me to eat so as I’m the one who gets the treats my family won’t get to go either. And they’ve just made the reward points almost useless. Sometimes it’s not about making money on every item it’s about getting bods in the door, kinda like halo cars. Boo hoo.

Have you ever heard of a place called Nandos?
It supplies mildly less processed chicken in wraps too.
You dont get a toy with your meal though.

Not keen on Nando’s. Overpriced and my home cooked is nicer.

I suppose they’ll go out of business as my orders of wraps kept them going biggrin

Even if some of the other chicken or fish choices are deep-fried they are not automatically "unhealthy". Depends on your diet and lifestyle. Unless you're glugging gallons per week, eating vegetable oil won't kill you. Enjoy smile

I bet you could make grilled chicken wraps nicer than McDonalds but you still bought McDonalds so the logic doesn't follow for avoiding Nandos.

Yea this

The constant bashing of Nandos pee's me off. I'm not a massive fan but peopel always say "It's just chicken and chips innit".

As you say, the same applies for most takeaways or fast food. It's just pizza, it's just meat in a pitta, it's just a fish with chips on the side.

I will admit Nandos has got stupidly expensive, but there was a time it was a great option for the price, and the bottomless soft drinks

McDonald’s grilled chicken wraps used to be until 6 months or so ago £1.99 for 30g of protein and 350ish calories. Cheap, tasty, healthy (ish) and easy. Now it’s £2.49 21g of protein and 450ish calories. I’ll survive but it was a nice little hack now it isn’t.

I just don’t get Nando’s. Sure the sauce is nice but you can get the same from Lidl’s own peri brand for cheap. If I’m going to pay the price Nando’s demands I want restaurant food not slightly nicer fast food.

It's a simple enough concept. Some KFC fans want cutlery.

£8.50 for a grilled chicken burger or wrap in Nandos is hardly extortionate for a sit down restaurant experience with proper plates and cutlery and table service.

Definitely not healthy.

Like most fast food, its a lab exercise created by food scientists, designed to be consistent, survive transportation across hundreds of miles etc.

Ingredients: EITHER: Allergen Ingredient: WHEAT Flour (contains Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Water, Humectant (Glycerol), Rapeseed Oil, Raising Agents (Disodium Diphosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Emulsifier (Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids), Stabiliser (Carboxy Methyl Cellulose), Yeast.

Ingredients: Chicken Breast Meat, Starches, Dextrose, Salt, Natural Flavourings, Pea Fibre, Yeast Extract, Buckwheat Flour, Dried Yeast, Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid).

Perfectly healthy in moderation.

If you really don't want the chemical preservatives don't eat the tortilla and just eat the grilled chicken salad. laugh
