There's an interesting story behind it: Haaland unexpectedly visited Happy Seasons restaurant, where he ordered a "triple roast" (consisting of roast duck and two different roast pork dishes).
Of course, the restaurant owner and staff were thrilled to meet their idol. They happily took photos with Haaland, and later named the dish "Haaland Special" after him.
Haaland doesn't mind the misuse of his name, and he probably gave the restaurant permission to do so, as the dish has become very popular in Manchester in recent days.

But that's not the most interesting part of the story. What made the roast meat, or grilled meat, named after Haaland so popular in England recently is the culinary skill of the Norwegian star.
In the world of top-level football, Haaland may not be the best player, but he's certainly the best cook.
Haaland not only prioritizes nutrition but also cooks his own meals and selects his food to ensure his body receives the proper support as an athlete.
Having lived alone since the age of 16, he had to cook for himself and shared: "Eating quality food, the more local the better. That means I proactively buy ingredients and use foods rich in iron and vitamins such as animal heart and liver to meet my body's needs."
Haaland's daily diet may consist of around 6,000 calories a day, with an emphasis on foods rich in micronutrients that athletes often overlook.
On his way to training, Haaland stopped at Greenoaks Farm, a small farm in Cheshire, to buy fresh milk, raw honey, and large cuts of beef.
Haaland had lunch consisting of sea bass, asparagus, and egg fried rice before heading to training with his teammates.
In the evening, he and his girlfriend Isabel Haugsend Johansen cooked tomahawk steak (a cut of sirloin with the ribs still attached) on an outdoor grill.

The meal also included potatoes and tomato salad. "I try to do this almost every day (i.e., buy the ingredients and cook myself, at least five times a week)," Haaland shared.
Images of Haaland grilling his own meat have been circulating on social media for months. The Norwegian star has a particular fondness for grilled and roasted meats, and maintains a healthy diet to avoid gaining weight from overeating.
Of course, as a sports star, Haaland also has his own experts and team. But the Norwegian striker only seeks their advice and then builds his own appropriate nutrition program.
