Why is Haaland named after roast meat?

A famous Asian restaurant in Manchester (England) attracted attention when it named its roast meat dish after Haaland.

There's an interesting story behind it, when Haaland unexpectedly visited Happy Seasons restaurant, and here he ordered a "triple roast" (including roast duck and 2 different roast pork dishes).

Of course, the restaurant's owner and staff were extremely happy to meet their idol. They happily took pictures with Haaland, and then named this dish "Haaland Special" after him.

Haaland doesn't mind the name abuse, and he probably gave the restaurant permission to do so, as the dish has been very popular in Manchester over the past few days.

But that's not the most interesting part of the story. What has made the Haaland roast, or barbecue, go viral in the UK recently is the Norwegian star's cooking skills.

In the top football world, Haaland may not be the best, but he is definitely the best... cook.

Haaland not only makes nutrition a priority, but also cooks and selects his own food to ensure the athlete's body is properly supported.

He has lived alone since he was 16 years old, so he has to cook for himself and shares: “Eating quality food, the more local the better. That means I proactively go shopping for ingredients, and use foods rich in iron and vitamins such as animal hearts and livers to meet the body's needs.”

Haaland's daily regimen can be around 6,000 calories a day, with an emphasis on foods rich in micronutrients that athletes often overlook.

On the way to training, Haaland stopped by Greenoaks Farm, a small farm in Cheshire, to buy fresh milk, raw honey and large cuts of beef.

Haaland had lunch of sea bass, asparagus and egg fried rice, before going out to practice with his teammates.

In the evening, he and his girlfriend Isabel Haugsend Johansen cooked tomahawk steak on the outdoor grill.

The meal also includes potato and tomato salad. "I try to do this almost every day (i.e., go shopping 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 is particularly fond of grilled and roasted meats, and has a suitable diet to avoid gaining weight from eating too much.

Of course, as a sports star, Haaland also has his own experts and team. But the Norwegian striker only asks for advice from them, then builds a reasonable nutritional program himself.
