David Beckham's simple 'favourite' meal proves controversial

David Beckham has shared one of his favourite meals - and sparked an online debate at the same time. The 47-year-old former England football captain might be worth £400million, but one of his go-tos is gammon, egg and chips

While fans praised his "perfectly acceptable dinner" others spotted something in a photo he posted on Instagram they couldn't agree with, reports the Mirror. He posted with the caption: "Last night's feast, one of my favourites growing up. Thanks mum. Gammon, chips, fried egg, tinned pineapple, peas & baked beans, coleslaw."

But some on the social media platform rebelled against the idea of pineapple finding its way onto the plate.

Speaking earlier this year on a podcast, David was asked to name his comfort foods. “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,” he said.

“And maybe a toastie made in the Brevile toaster with baked beans." Explaining how he makes this comfort dish, David continued: “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. That and a packet of Discos. I'm more of a crisp man than a chocolate.”
