David Beckham reveals his favourite dish is a baked bean toastie and packet of salt and vinegar crisps… after admitting wife Victoria has eaten same meal every day for 25 YEARS
It recently emerged his wife Victoria Beckham has stuck to eating her favourite meal of grilled fish and steamed vegetables for 25 years in a bid to maintain her thin physique.
But David Beckham, 46, has revealed he is far more likely to be eating something more comforting than Posh, 47 – the former footballer’s best-loved meal is a baked bean toastie and a packet of crisps.
Speaking on the second half of River Cafe Table 4 podcast, David stated his preferred comfort foods, saying: ‘After talking about all of this great food and all of these great restaurants I go to, my comfort food is a packet of salt and vinegar Discos.
Simple pleasures: David Beckham, 46, says his favourite meal is a baked bean toastie and packet of crisps, while wife Victoria, 47, has eaten fish and steamed vegetables for years
‘And maybe a toastie made in the Brevile toaster with baked beans.’
The president & co-owner of Inter Miami CF went on in detail about how he prepares the dish.
He explained: ‘I put the bread in – Hovis.
‘A little bit of butter on the outside so it doesn’t stick. I put the baked beans in, toast it for four or five minutes, and open it up. No cheese.
Not-so-posh-nosh: David is likely to be eating something comforting, using the toastie maker in his kitchen to whip up his favourite meal
‘That and a packet of Discos. I’m more of a crisp man than a chocolate.’
It comes after David moaned wife Victoria has eaten the same dish of grilled fish and steamed vegetables for 25 years.
And while the sportsman likes to get experimental in the kitchen with his toasties, he lamented that the health fanatic will ‘rarely deviate’ from her set menu.
He revealed that Spice Girl Victoria has only once tried other food – while pregnant with daughter Harper, 10.
OMG! David said last week: ‘Unfortunately I’m married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years. Since I met her she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables’
On the first half of the River Cafe Table 4 podcast last week, David said: ‘I get quite emotional about food and wine, when I’m eating something great I want everyone to try it.
‘Unfortunately I’m married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years. Since I met her she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables, she will very rarely deviate from that.
‘The only time she’s probably ever shared something that’s been on my plate was actually when she was pregnant with Harper and it was the most amazing thing.
‘It was one of my favourite evenings. I can’t remember what it was but I know she’s not eaten it since.’

David also admitted that he relishes in being home alone because he can experiment in the kitchen.
He told the podcast: ‘Pretty recently I was in isolation for five days because I’d just been to Italy so I came back and on one of the last days Victoria’s parents had a party and I couldn’t actually go to it.
‘So everyone was out of the house and I secretly loved it. I literally had two most amazing cuts of meat. One was a T-bone and I had some English wagyu.
‘I poured one glass of the most amazing red wine that I treated myself to because I was on my own looking forward to watching the football in the afternoon on my own. So I set the barbecue up.
‘I had a nice tomato and shallot salad and the meat and a glass of wine and it was the most amazing meal that I had for a long time. Those are my most amazing afternoons and evenings.’
