Mix and match pasta options - Bamford on pre-match meals
- Published
Leeds striker Patrick Bamford has pulled back the curtain on the players' pre-match meals, with even customisable pasta options available.
"The majority of players, probably about 80%, will have pasta before a game," he told the My Mate's a Footballer podcast.
"Either pasta or Gnocchi or something like that. There's loads of options. We have to fill a form in on the way. It's like pre-ordering.
"The rest of the staff, physios and stuff usually won't have the pasta. They'll make use of the hotel buffet. Whatever is available. It's all healthy in our section but they eat with us in the evening then some sneak away to the main hotel bit for breakfast.
"On the way down we'll get sent a Google sheets form where you put in your name and it says you have a choice of one of the pastas; Penne, Gnocchi, Gluten Free Penne or Fusilli.
"Those are the pasta options then the sauce options, and you can mix and match if you want, are green pesto, healthy bechamel white sauce, tomato and basil sauce, olive oil and red pesto.
"Then you can add as many of these as you want; peppers, chestnut mushrooms, peas, diced tomatoes, red onions, spinach, chicken, king prawns, chilli flakes, feta, cheddar and parmesan.
"You can put in what you like."
