• The man also showed how expensive the items on the menu were, and showed the bottomless drinks

Christopher Lemmon, a man working a biltong shop in the United Kingdom, visited a Nando's restaurant in the area, showing how it differed from the establishments based in South Africa. The video prompted many people to share their experiences.

The Facebook account for Stort Biltong uploaded the clip on 12 January 2026, in which Christopher explained that he had gone to the restaurant for lunch. He noted that, unlike in South Africa, customers in the United Kingdom can choose to order their meal on their phones or using the menu, which has illustrations that represent Johannesburg.

He gave online viewers a glimpse of the expensive menu items, which also featured what was called a 'Sxollie Cider,' and showed the bottomless drinks, including popular gas cooldrinks and iced tea, on offer.
