There are very few options regarding fast food here in Namibia. Neither McDonald’s, Wendy’s nor Burger King have yet made it here. This may or may not be a good thing. The only American chain in evidence is KFC. Additionally, the local equivalent of the burger joint, Steers or the Hungry Lion, just don't cut the mustard. The kids are really missing Raising Cane’s chicken tenders, which probably goes without saying. One chain that we have come across and like very much is Nandos. Nandos produces a Peri-Peri grilled chicken for which it is famous throughout Southern Africa. Peri-Peri has a unique flavor that takes a little bit of getting used to, but man do we like the spicy hotness of it. We have been buying 2 family packs which total a whole chicken and comes with fries and coleslaw for well under twenty American dollars. We’ll usually have a bit leftover depending on our appetite for the evening. Lately, I have been taking the leftovers and remodeling them in the form of chicken jambalaya. The kids absolutely love it. Add a little Tony’s and it’s almost like home! Talk about Cajun ingenuity.
By the way, we’re running a little low on Tony’s (even though I brought over 2 industrial size cans of it when we came over), so if anyone is interested in making a kind gesture toward our cause, our mailing address appears at the bottom of the page. The stuff they call Cajun Spice here just isn’t the same.........
