Nando's Peri Peri Salt - 70g

In Britain, Nando's is where birthdays, first dates and post-match dinners end up, and the chips are half the reason anyone goes. Ask a regular what they order and "peri-salted" comes up before the chicken does.

So when people in Canada go looking for it, they are usually chasing one plate in particular: a pile of chips with that red dusting, eaten at a table in Manchester or Croydon years ago. The salt is the bit you can actually bring home.

It comes as 70g of seasoning, and a little goes a long way, so it lasts. Keep the lid on and store it in the cupboard. Use it like ordinary salt and then some: on chips straight out of the oven, on roasties, on grilled chicken, on eggs, or in a spice rub before the barbecue.

It sits happily next to a bottle of Nando's peri-peri sauce, which is how most people end up rebuilding the whole table at home. Chips, chicken, salt, sauce, and a fight over the last wing.
