Pfft, garlic medium sauce FTW.

Just to be clear, the image is depicting not only that the sauce is a crutch but also that Nando's only barely limps along even WITH the sauce.

I swear the extra flavour in their extra hot sauce makes it less hot than the hot one. Or maybe the extra hot burned my tastebuds to a crisp.

I've realised recently that sauce is a general UK crutch. I knew like 5 ketchup kids growing up who ate everything with ketchup. Might be why we're known as a having bland food because we drown everything in sauce or gravy
Our national dish is literally dried toast with some saucy beans
All food is merely a medium for sauce.
Me when I was told hummus is a condiment
This is the way
Isn't toast normally dried?
On a more serious point, beans on toast is not the national dish on any list I've seen.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_dish#U
Looking up UK or England gives Chicken Tikka Masala, Fish and Chips or Sunday Roast. Scotland has haggis, Wales has Crawl and NI has Ulster Fry.
Beans on toast is probably less of a "national dish" and more an affordable comfort food. I guess the American equivalent would be biscuits and gravy?
Not officially but unofficially Beans on Toast is most recognizable other than Fish and Chips or and Full English Breakfast
Official National Dishes are always suspect. For example, the US has Turkey in general, and Apple Pie, which is an English dish
Realistically, Pies should be the national dish of the UK (Mince Pie, Shepherds Pie, Pork Pie, Pasty, Fish Pie, Many Dessert Pies) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:British_pies
