[Food] Football ground food

[Neville's Breakfast]

i think some people expect to much sometimes. FDootball stadiums arent macdonalds, or KFC, and certainly not restaurants. They have to deal with mass customers in a very short space of time. You dont go to go to football for your main meal (hospitality excepted).

Like it or not they have to cater to the majority, and it has to be mass produced, preheated, . If you want your one shot soy latte with hazlenut foam and a non gluttrn ciabatta with misso soaked toffu and a bed of rocket you are in the wrong place!

True, but a middle ground is always welcome. Best football food I’ve had in years was the pulled pork roll on a freezing cold day at Southport in between Covid lockdowns.

I still miss sausage and chips at Withdean. At the Amex it‘s cheeseburger. For a football ground it’s ok but not as enjoyable as the sausage and chips.

Obviously that is an exaggeration, but there is very little alternative for many people who are gluten intolerant.

Best thing the club could do is themed match days....indian, chinese, italian etc.......keep it simple - and mass produce 1/2 dishes. But the pie n chips stigma is deep.

Literally the worst thing they could do and impossible to do at volume and keep changing the displays but then you’re on a wind up again

 

[Guinness Boy]

Our steak and ale taste nothing like our original steak and ale sadly.

Piglets supply other clubs too so I suspect the filling is more mass produced now.

The sausage rolls in the North are the business still

But I gave you a tiger loaf rammed full of pork.
The stuff of dreams.

Rarely eat in grounds these days but I had a Chicken Balti pie at Selhurst (sorry) last month and it was superb. Anyone heading up next weekend, give it a whirl.

I still long for the hot dogs at the Goldstone from the van outside the main office...........after the Eclipse visit!

Im not happy with the Amex lack of healthy and veggie/ vegan food, but at least I think we can all agree the standard exceeds the awful 'food' at some clubs.

Well go to a f***ing restaurant or just watch Littlehampton.

Football is rarely played when most people eat

vegan doesn't mean healthy......neglecting collagen and taurine, plus going for processed tofu is arguably not smart. If it's to do with the death of an animal - tofu and soy farms kill all the local rabbits, voles, insects etc via chemicals.

Good job regurgitating false points.

Tofu is extremely healthy, much more so than carcinogenic red meat for sure.

The killing animal points is even more hilarious.

Meat eaters eat crops top.

Meat eaters eat livestock.

The livestock eats huge numbers of crops that also involves killing local wildlife. Meat eaters diets involve more animals being killed than a vegans before you even eat the livestock animals.

Over 78% of soy bean grown worldwide is for livestock feed.

90% of the soy from the Amazon is grown for livestock.

But congratulations on believing meat industry/anti vegan propaganda because you dislike vegans too.

Guest pie. Vegan Bombay potato today. Sounds nice.

My favourite is still the cauliflower cheeze vegan pie.

The three bean chilli pie is also pretty damn good.

 

[AstroSloth]

I like the sound of the filling but am always hesitant as to how good vegan pastry can be compared to non-vegan pastry.

Vegan pastry is usually very good.

It's not far off the butter pastry for sure. There's much worse vegan substitutes that's for sure.

Football is as expensive as it is. No way I'm wasting even more on average food and drink. When I go, I go for the football only.

A beer in my local after the game and an evening meal at home will suffice for me.

Todays vegetable tagine not for you?

Had a Pot Noodle at Deepdale many years ago. They 'weren't allowed' to put boiling water in - so filled it with lukewarm water. Which just led to a sort of half soggy grey mass of stuff. Never eaten bought food at a ground since.

 

[Solid at the back]

Had the steak and ale today. Grim. Had no flavour to it whatsoever, was just eating something that tasted of nothing. Then indigestion for hours. Never again.

I was under the impression that all the pies are vegan pastry.
