Is this 85p meal the most DISGUSTING footy food in the world? Hungarian side appal travelling Tottenham fans with ‘shocking’ Europa League offering

  • Modern supporters expect the best cuisine when they go to the terraces
  • But the chefs at Ferencvaros clearly didn’t get the memo with this bit

In times gone by, football fans subsisted on pints and pork roasts while standing on icy terraces watching their heroes kick chunks apart (and out of the turf).

Those days are over. Modern supporters expect a higher degree of hospitality when they settle into their plush seats to chat with their neighbor about low blocks and false nines.

Roy Keane’s ‘prawn sandwich brigade’ has been replaced by the falafel wrap and butter chicken brigades. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is even reportedly offering pumpkin and pine nut ravioli with vine tomato sauce and basil pesto.

In fact, North London fans are among the best fed in the country, with luxury two-course meals available on request to absorb pints filled from the bottom of the cup in just ten seconds.

You can imagine the shock when Spurs supporters trekked all the way to Budapest last Thursday to face Ferencvaros, only to be greeted with an offer that would have been considered sub-par even in football’s culinary dark ages.

A disappointing demonstration of gastronomy at Ferencvaros includes a slice of white bread, a healthy bit of lard and some red onions thrown on top

Spurs supporters were at least treated to an entertaining feast of football in the second period as Brennan Johnson helped the north London side secure a 2-1 victory in the Europa League.

The disappointing display of gastronomy consists of a slice of white bread, a healthy bit of lard and some red onions on top.

Those drooling over that description can pick up the piece for just 85 cents (380 Hungarian forints) or ten for £8.50.

But it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, as users on X, formerly Twitter, are uniting in fervent opposition to the snack.

One user said: ‘Even in England that sex is too expensive.’

Another asked, “Is this a meal or something from a fraternity hazing ritual?”

A third added: “Did a five year old make this?”

There was a couple who stoically defended the treat, with one wisely saying: ‘There will be plenty of people who scoff at this, but it will save your life by the eighth pint.’

Another supporter said heroically: ‘Idc [I don’t care] what people think. But this is something I like to eat.”

The products from Ferencvaros’ kitchen have some competition for the title of the worst food in football.

An attempt at a Philly cheesesteak in Sheffield Wednesday, costing £5, angered food lovers with its bland, dry and tasteless appearance.

Meanwhile, a mystery meat sandwich at top Vietnamese club Haiphong FC, available for just 67 cents, is certainly not for the faint of heart.

And at Wycombe Wanderers, Chairboys fans are being forced to gorge on sickly sausages costing £6.50. Served in a box the same color as the meat, even the bread seems to want nothing to do with the pale stunner.

Back to Budapest, the Spurs supporters, fueled by some half-time care, were treated to an entertaining feast of football in the second period, with Brennan Johnson scoring again to double the lead, before Barnabas Vargas gave Ange Postecoglou’s side a late scare. in a 2-1 win.
