      Fans slammed the 85p Zsíros Kenyér on offer at Ferencvarosi TCCredit: X @FootyScran
      Zsíros Kenyér translates to ‘Fatty Bread’ and is a popular bar snack in Hungary.
      It consists of buttered bread topped with red onion – but Ferencvarosi’s version turned fans’ stomachs.
      They topped some rather sad-looking white bread with raw red onions, and even for 85p some said they would not go near the snack.
      One reacted saying: “That’s disgraceful.”

      A third wrote: “That should be cordoned off by blue and white police tape.”
      And another commented: “That looks awful.”
      In a poll asking whether the item was scran or no scran, 78 per cent of respondents answered saying ‘no’.

      Earlier this year fans slammed a burger sold by Dundee United.
      It was likened to a digestive biscuit, called out for not being cooked, and even branded so bad it’s akin to a war crime.
      Scotland appears to have a knack for horror scran with a burger sold by Aberdeen ranking as the highest ‘no scran’ vote ever.
      However there are some clubs which excel when it comes to their food offerings, such as sixth-tier St Albans City.
      Fans salivated over their £8 chicken burger with one labelling it a “thing of beauty”. More

      And with the striker unhappy with the quality of fish on offer in Manchester, he has persuaded officials to source the fish direct from his homeland to ensure it’s up to scratch.
      The striker, who has 13 goals this season, now tucks into the fish each week to top up on vitamin D, B12 and selenium and iodine.
      A source said: “Haaland’s been banging on about the fish. He wanted salmon, so he made the nutritionist arrange for the best fish restaurant in Norway to have their kitchen staff fly over.
      “It’s cost an absolute fortune – but it’s the best salmon.”

      Haaland’s dedication to the game means he pays very close attention to his diet, consuming 6,000 calories a day.
      The Sun has previously told how he enjoys an unusual diet as he tries to keep himself in peak physical shape to terrorise defenders.
      He regularly downs a “magic potion” of cow’s milk smoothies laced with spinach and kale and enjoys feasting on cow hearts and liver.
      He also enjoys a pre-match lasagne cooked by his dad before a game.

      Erling’s dad Alfie said his son tried to follow a strict diet after seeing how eating healthily had allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to become one of the best players in the world.
      He said: “He was told a story by Patrice Evra about a lunch he had with Ronaldo and Cristiano had fish, nothing else. Erling now tries to do the same things because Ronaldo is 38 and still at the top of the game.”
      Victoria Braathen, UK director of the Norwegian Seafood Council, said: “I’m happy two of Norway’s most famous treasures have found each other in the UK. Our salmon is the world’s most popular fish, globally recognised for its quality and nutritious credentials.”
      Haaland also takes ice baths to recover after games and bans gadgets from his bedroom so his sleep is not affected.
      He will not play at Euro 2024 after Norway failed to qualify. More

      The winger suggested this could be down to his special dietary habits.
      The former England international steams chicken feet every night because of the collagen, which is responsible for healthy joints as well as skin elasticity.
      Townsend told Ben Foster’s Fozcast: “Every night for dinner I eat chicken feet. Steamed chicken feet.
      “I swear to you. Because the collagen in the chicken feet, there’s the cartilage.

      “There’s basically so much goodness that now they put it into pills and put it into shots.
      “The daily pills you take at training is mainly from chicken feet and random stuff like that.”
      Foster asked Townsend where he gets the chicken feet from and the ex-Tottenham star responded: “Online.
      “Yeah, I order it in like massive batches. It comes frozen, I whack a load in the freezer.

      “You can boil them. I steam them, I put them in a steam oven, 20 minutes and it’s lovely.
      “Honestly, it’s like chicken wing, but a chicken foot. You obviously don’t eat the bone but you have to eat as much as the cartilage and as close to the bone as possible.”
      Premier League fans were left stunned by Townsend’s revelation after a clip was shared on TikTok.
      One supporter commented: “That’s wild.”

      Fans say ‘I’d have to dislocate my jaw to eat that’ as mega £8 burger at non-league side leaves supporters drooling

      by

      FEASTING footie fans reckon they’ve found the holy grail of half-time burgers – thanks to some non-League Saints.One salivating supporter even feared he’d have to “dislocate my jaw” to devour sixth-tier St Albans’ sizzling £8 offering – labelled a “thing of beauty” and “truly fantastic” by fellow admirers.
      A few fans felt this burger must be a whopper in more ways than one as they doubted it could be as big and tasty as it looked
      Luckily burgers weren’t on sale at this entrance to the Saints’ ground as not many of the massive mouthwatering meals would have fitted inCredit: The Times
      And another disbelieving fan almost dismissed it as fake chews as he argued: “Can’t be real, it looks absolutely stunning.”
      The part-time Saints are only mid-table in National League South.
      But their bulging burger could take up all the table in any competition of football fare.
      Bacon and salad cream strained at the sides, looking ready to explode out of what appeared to be at least a triple-decker treat.

      “That looks absolutely fantastic!” said another, and a third observed: “Bro that burger looks LOADED”.

      Inside Tyson Fury’s 6,000 calorie-a-day diet before Ngannou fight – including roast potatoes for breakfast

      by

      THERE is no doubt that Tyson Fury is one of the greatest heavyweights the art of boxing has ever seen.But how does the Gypsy King perform to the incredible degree that he does in his fights?

      As he prepares to face off the formidable ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, Fury will be taking every measure to optimise his performance and solidify his legendary title as the undisputed world champion. 
      The two most important factors? His diet and workout regime. 
      Here, we take a look at Fury’s pre-fight rituals – including a whopping 6,000 calories a day and roast potatoes for breakfast.
      According to the 35-year-old’s nutritionist George Lockhart, the 6ft 9in athlete’s favourite foods are black pudding, fish and anything spicy. 
      READ MORE ON TYSON FURY
      He’s not a fan of vegetables, and would chow down exclusively on chicken nuggets if he could. 
      In the week before a fight, he typically scoffs his breakfast at 10am, then eats again at 1pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm and midnight.
      This works out at about 6,000 calories a day – almost triple that of the maintenance calories for the average man. 
      Lockhart said this huge intake helps maximise energy output on the day of the fight and helps keep fatigue at bay.

      TYSON FURY VS FRANCIS NGANNOU: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE CROSSOVER CLASH
      “Tyson is like clockwork,” he added. “It’s the exact same way every single time. It’s almost like you press play, and repeat. 
      “We’ve found the formula he likes, and the weight that he wants to be at.”
      Fury’s standard brekkie includes several scrambled eggs, which the nutritionist claims are one of the “best digestive proteins” the body can absorb with ease.
      This provides optimal muscle growth and recovery to accompany Fury’s twice-a-day, seven-day-a-week rigorous training program, he added. 
      The boxer, who weighs 19st 1lb, also gets a serving of black pudding, which is “really high in iron”, as well as lean pork or chicken.
      Lunch is one of the more variable aspects of Fury’s usually rigid diet plan, as the components are altered to fit his unique nutritional requirements throughout the seven-day lead-up. 
      However, Lockhart always tries to squeeze in a helping of salmon due to its high omega-3 content, which reportedly improves his brain function and boosts his ‘fight IQ’. 
      Salmon is also full of proteins and essential fatty acids, which are needed for muscle growth and the healthy maintenance of bone density and cartilage health that provide support for the muscles, which house the bursting power of Fury’s explosive punches.

      9pm: 1 cup blackberries, 1 cup raspberries, 1 cup blueberries, 1 cup Greek yoghurt, 1/2 cup granola

      Where Lockhart has changed his tune regarding Fury’s programme is on the subject of red meat. 
      Before his fight with Dillian Whyte, the health expert was insistent on adding a helping of red meat to at least one meal every day as “chicken isn’t as nutrient dense”.
      However, he has since revised his opinions so as not to hinder Fury’s physical fitness. 
      “I’ll only do red meat on days that he’s off, to give his body the time to digest it,” he told Betway.
      “Red meat is the most nutrient-dense meat out there, but it also takes time to digest, so I don’t want to be giving it to him every day.”

      And throughout the day, Lockhart has to ensure his client is getting his five-a-day, which he claims he has to sneak into Fury’s meals because he hates vegetables with a passion.
