Is this 85p meal the most DISGUSTING footy food in the world?

In a bygone era, football fans used to live off pints and pork scratchings as they stood on freezing terraces to watch their heroes kick lumps out of each other (and the turf).

Those days are gone. Modern supporters expect a higher grade of hospitality as they settle into their cushioned seats to chat to their neighbour about low blocks and false nines.

Roy Keane's 'prawn sandwich brigade' has been replaced by the falafel wrap and butter chicken brigades.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

The north London side's fans are, in fact, among the most well-fed in the country, with fancy two-course meals available on request to absorb pints which are filled up from the bottom of the cup in just ten seconds.

You can imagine the shock, then, when Spurs supporters trekked all the way to Budapest to face Ferencvaros last Thursday, only to be greeted by an offering which would have been considered below-par even in football's culinary dark ages.

An underwhelming display of gastronomy at Ferencvaros involves a slice of white bread, a healthy smattering 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 win in the Europa League

The underwhelming display of gastronomy involves a slice of white bread, a healthy smattering of lard and some red onions thrown on top.

Those left drooling at that description can pick up the morsel for just 85p (380 Hungarian Forint) or ten for £8.50.

But it is not everyone's cup of tea, with users on X, formerly Twitter, uniting in fervent opposition to the snack.

One user said: 'Even in England that s*** is overpriced.'

Another asked: 'Is this a meal or something from a fraternity hazing ritual?'

A third added: 'Did a 5-year old make this?'

There were a couple who stoically defended the treat, with one wisely saying: 'Plenty will mock this, but it'll save your life at the eighth pint.'

Another supporter heroically said: 'Idc [I don't care] what people think. But this is something I'd enjoy eating.' 

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

An attempt at a Philly cheesesteak at Sheffield Wednesday, costing £5, attracted the ire of culinary afficionados with its bland, dry and flavourless appearance.

Social media users gave their views and very few were left licking their lips at the offering

The food in Budapest competes with some of the worst in football including Haiphong FC's mystery meat sandwich

Served in a box the same colour as the meat, even the bread seems to want nothing to do with this pale banger at Wycombe

Meanwhile, a mystery meat sandwich at top flight Vietnamese side Haiphong FC available for just 67p is certainly not one for the faint-hearted.

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

Back to Budapest and, fuelled by some half-time sustenance, Spurs supporters were treated to an entertaining feast of football in the second period, which saw Brennan Johnson score once again to double their lead, before Barnabas Vargas gave Ange Postecoglou's side a late scare in a 2-1 win.
