The 25-year-old goal machine Erling Haaland is not just a star on the field, but also in the kitchen. After matches, he celebrates by indulging in giant roast dinners with all the trimmings, including Yorkshire puddings. Haaland, who plays for Manchester City, is known to consume up to six meals a day, showcasing his impressive appetite. Interestingly, he cooks his roasts on a grill in his garden, adding a personal touch to his culinary adventures.
Sunday Roast with a Twist
Haaland recently shared a picture on social media of one of his roast dinners, complete with a generous serving of Yorkshire puddings. His close friend and fellow footballer, Sander Berge, who plays for Fulham, revealed that they often meet for Sunday roast dinners. Berge described their gatherings as a time to enjoy good food, have a laugh, and savor classic dishes like roasted potatoes, gravy, and Yorkshire puddings. Having a fellow Norwegian like Berge around adds to the special charm of these meals, creating a sense of camaraderie and shared cultural experiences.
Inspired by Ronaldo
Haaland’s dedication to his diet and fitness regime is evident in his commitment to following the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo. His father, former Leeds United footballer Alf-Inge, mentioned that Haaland was inspired by a story shared by ex-Manchester United player Patrice Evra about Ronaldo’s disciplined eating habits. Ronaldo’s preference for fish during meals left a lasting impression on Haaland, prompting him to adopt similar dietary practices. By emulating Ronaldo’s approach to nutrition, Haaland aims to stay at the top of his game and maximize his performance on the field. His teammate Joshua King even attested to Haaland’s extraordinary eating habits, describing him as someone who “eats like a bear” to maintain his physical prowess and competitive edge.
