Nando's quietly axes side dish from restaurant menus nationwide
First introduced back in November 2023, the side dish consisted of mixed salad leaves, a sweet and herby vinegar dressing, extra virgin olive oil and toasted peri-peri seeds
Nando's has confirmed that one of its "healthy" menu dishes has been permanently axed. The peri peri chicken chain quietly removed its Leafy Green Salad from its menus nationwide last October.
First introduced back in November 2023, the side dish consisted of mixed salad leaves, a sweet and herby vinegar dressing, extra virgin olive oil and toasted peri-peri seeds. Posting the news to Reddit, one fan of the dish said it "great to have a healthy option."
For those disappointed over the news, shouldn't worry as Nando's has replaced the side salad option on its menus. with a new dish this month. Those who want a lighter option can now get the Portuguese Tomato Salad. The new option - which will set you back £4.50 - consists of semi-dried, sweet baby and salad tomatoes, cucumber moons, and pink pickled onions in a light salad dressing.
Nando's has not confirmed whether the new salad dish will become a permanent fixture on its menu, however, it says it "hopes" the new salad will be "evergreen".
Salad lovers will not miss out at Nando's as it has also added two salad dishes to its menu this month. The first is a return of a beloved fan favourite - the Mediterranean Salad.
First introduced to menus back in 2019 and currently costing £9.25, the dish consists of a medley of semi-dried and sweet baby tomatoes, olives, feta, cucumber moons and pink pickled onions on a bed of mixed leaves, with Rozendal vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. The PERI-PERI chain has confirmed that this options will not be sticking around saying "it's here for a good time, not a long time.'
The second salad on Nando's menu is the Caesar Salad also priced at £9.25. Introduced on May 14, it consists of crunchy cos lettuce with a rich, creamy dressing topped with grated Italian hard cheese and herby toasted croutons. Again, this salad will not be on the menu for long.
On the menu changes, a Nando's spokesperson said: 'We regularly make updates to our menus and introduce new ingredients and flavours which our fans love. Leafy Green Salad came off the menu in October, but alternative salad options and sides are available.'
These are not the only new items on the Nando's menu. Alongside the new salads, Nando's has introduced a new veggie burger called "The Big Cheese" which will set you back £9.25 on its own or £15.50 with sides.
The dish features grilled halloumi, red pepper and pineapple salsa, sliced avocado, and Churrasco PERinaise, served in a soft Portuguese roll. Fans of Nando's can also try "Summer Grains" and its "Charred corn".
Costing £4.25, Nando's Summer Grains features mixed grains with green chickpeas and dried apricots in lemon and oil, drizzled with a yoghurt dressing. For the second, customers can get charred smoky sweetcorn in a creamy, garlic sauce topped with spring onions and PERi-Salt for £5.
The peri peri restaurant has also introduced a brand new dip costing £1.25, which it says will be loved by fans of its Halloumi Sticks.

Why a single photo of a Magnum ice cream has Aussies up in arms
A disappointed Aussie has questioned if his favourite ice cream has shrunk in size after he bought a Magnum from his local petrol station. The man placed his hand beside the ice cream to give Aussies a size reference. 'Is this a special servo size or is this just how big a magnum ice cream is now?' he captioned a photo of the sweet treat on Reddit. 'Haven't had a Magnum ice cream in ages. I swear these were three times bigger when I was a kid. It's about as big as a couple fingers now.' Aussies were quick to weigh in to the Magnum size debate. 'What used to be the mini became the regular a long time ago,' one person claimed. 'Absolutely not worth the purchase given the quality also dropped massively from when they were first released.' 'Oh old school magnum ego were the go-to ice cream,' a second agreed. 'The chocolate is much thinner now. I bought two at the footy the other night for $7 each and they were very underwhelming,' a third said. 'Wait, seriously? I stopped getting them years ago after one of the price hikes, but now they only sell the minis and call them regular ones? What a rort,' a fourth added. 'Kept the same overpriced tags and shrank,' another commenter agreed. It came as another upset Aussie claimed they only received 317g of peas in a 500g bag of McCain frozen baby peas they purchased at Woolworths. 'I've heard of shrinkflation, but really?' they captioned a photo of the peas on a scale. 'Guess I'm keeping receipts for longer from now on.' Aussies were divided over whether Woolworths or McCains, the manufacturer of the frozen peas, were at fault over the weight discrepancy. 'Don't Woolworths buy these products to sell to us? Maybe they should do a better job ensuring the quality of what they offer including that consumers are getting what they are paying for,' one person wrote. 'Somebody procures these things. There should be quality control at both levels, I'd be complaining to both.' But another defended Woolworths, writing: 'What do you expect, someone to weigh every single item that is on the shelf?!' 'It's on Woolies to ensure it's delivered within temperature and not tampered with and it's on Woolies to report customer complaints to the supplier/relevant food authorities,' a third person argued.

Woman fumes as 'entitled' neighbour demands she dig up her plants for odd reason
A woman has been left stunned after her 'entitled' neighbour demanded she dig up all her plants for an odd reason. She has gone online to see people's advice on the situation A woman has been left utterly astounded after her 'entitled' neighbour demanded she uproot all of her garden plants for a bizarre reason. She shared on Reddit how she had purchased a property last year and dedicated an entire year to refurbishing it, with the goal of moving in by this summer. Fortunately, she managed to stick to her timeline and settled into her new home last month, eager to put the finishing touches on her abode, including planting flowers in her front garden. But her horticultural efforts led to a surprising dispute with her neighbour, who took a strong dislike to the choice of blooms. On Red dit, she recounted: "Up until now, we've had, or thought we had, a good relationship with the neighbour on the side of our house whose driveway is next to our house. We even bought them a gift basket when we closed on the house. "Last week, we planted small compact hollies to create a tiny hedge in our front garden that is well within our own property line, not even the edge of the property line. "Karen and her husband decide to come out today to curse us out and name calling us (b****, witch, s****y neighbour, telling us to f*** ourselves, etc) for planting the hollies in our garden as it interferes with them opening their car door into our garden, walking well inside our garden to get in and out of their car." The disgruntled neighbours have complained that the plants are making their "lives miserable" and pose a "dangerous tripping hazard" that they have to contend with every day. She exclaimed: "I am beyond myself at how people like this exists, the entitlement and unreasonableness. Originally we wanted to add height to the garden when we first purchased it but Karen told us not to because they need to open their car door. "We decided to be nice neighbours to keep peace so we didn't. Now few months later we moved in, planted small compacta holly bushes around the garden, Karen said we are the worse neighbours ever and hope all our plants die. "Even went as far as threatening us, stating that we will be miserable living here - like seriously." Perplexed, the woman couldn't fathom why her 69 year old neighbour would take such offence at a bit of greenery - taking to Reddit to see if the fault lay with her. She continued: "She demands we remove all the bushes along the side of our garden because they need to step into our garden to open their car doors to get in and out. "Her screaming got so bad that even our nice neighbour from across the street came to defend us and try to deescalate the situation, calming her down. "Of course she yelled at him to leave and mind his own business because she's 'been living on the block for 30 years'." The majority of Reddit users were stunned by the tale, with some advising her to erect a fence and install cameras as a defence against her unhinged neighbours. One user advised in the comments: "With this information in mind I'd be building a fence, specifically to inconvenience the awful neighbours." One commenter suggested a mischievous defence, saying: "Cameras - likely they will poison the plants. Pink Flamingos lined up in the garden looking at them. Bonus points if you put glow-in-the-dark googly eyes on them." Another recommended a charming deterrent, proposing: "Time for a cute picket fence or landscape boulders on the property line."

The mystery behind a sign 'error' at one of Sydney's busiest stations is revealed
Transport for New South Wales has revealed the truth behind the quirky mystery of why the sign at one of its busiest stations appears to have a spelling error. At Sydney 's Central Station, commuters and visitors have noticed something about the sign reading 'Central' between platforms 20 and 21. The letter 'C' is noticeably smaller and appears in a different font compared to the rest of the word. This seemingly minor detail has sparked confusion, with many passengers assuming it was a design error or modern oversight. But an eagle-eyed Australian recently reignited the discussion by sharing a photo of the sign on Reddit, asking why the first letter looked so out of place. Now, for the first time, the transport department has revealed the reason behind the signage quirk, and it turns out to be entirely intentional. A spokesperson for Transport for NSW (TfNSW) told Daily Mail Australia on Friday that the sign is a heritage feature, which has remained in place for decades. 'The small 'C' visible in the suspended signs on platforms 16 to 23 at Central Station is a design feature of the heritage signs that have been in use since the 1960s.' The spokesperson explained there were two fonts used on original signs when they were installed, one of which was slightly larger. Rather than update or replace the signage, TfNSW made a conscious decision to preserve it in its original form. 'The Central Station signs were rolled out during one of the periodic upgrades of this huge and busy station in the middle of the last century and were handmade,' the spokesperson said. 'Our conservation work on Central is intended to take as light a touch as possible. 'Little things like this speak to the heritage of the country's second oldest train station.' Central Station officially opened in 1906, built on top of the Devonshire Street Cemetery. It is estimated that more than 250,000 people pass through the station daily, with it linked to all train lines, Sydney Metro and the Light Rail. In a recent online post, debate was sparked as to why the sign was different from the others. 'This has driven me mental for so many years! It's been like this for so long,' one frustrated Sydneysider said on the Reddit thread. 'This is frustrating to become aware of,' another wrote. A third said: 'I noticed this a few years ago. It upsets me to no end.'
