It has begun. Chicken thighs, green pepper, poblano, serrano pepper, vulcan fire salt, pepper, vindalia onion, and some other stuff. Still have yet to add the andouille sausage, shrimp, and corn. Rice in on the way too.
Why do they cook the rice separately for that dish? I watched a vid on it yesterday, only thing I can think of is that you make it in huge batches so the rice would be fucked if you cooked it with it by the time the last of it is eaten.

Just out of interest, did he stop making it when you met your lovely wife by any chance?
No, we met him after we were married. He owns a bar in town that we go to now and then. He's currently in Korea so I'll have to ask him when he gets back.

Honestly I just do it for presentation purposes. Jambalaya isn't really a pretty dish. It's like putting a tuxedo on someone who is uglier than me.

It's a double edged sword that cuts both ways. But there is some truth to the fact that people eat with their eyes before they eat with their mouth.

There is a line between a dish being presented nicely, and over the top pretentious bullshit though.

What's nandos?
Sounds like a Star Wars planet.
I eat Star Wars planets for breakfast, lunch, dinner, midnight snack, .....when the pussy's sour.

Its a South African grilled chicken chain, what they do different is that they dont marinate the chook in their sauce they mop it with the sauce while they grill it. I think the par boil the chicken first on the downlow too.

Happy to send you a bottle of the sauce to try M8, if you want some PM me. Im always buying their sauce then get home and realize Ive got 5 bottles.

Combo of hot and sour, it goes from child level mild to pretty hot, not ghost pepper hot but not too far off. They do grilled chicken livers and ribs too, fuck they are good. You have Nandos in America though right?
