In an interview with Arsenal FC, Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus attracted attention by sharing his thoughts on a typical British dish.
Asked about “Beans on Toast,” he humorously replied: “Beans or toast? Yes, but without beans, just toast. Toast is what it is. Toast.” Then he added: “As a Brazilian, you physically cannot eat beans on toast, it’s just impossible.”
Have you ever had beans on toast? 🤔

According to Gabriel Jesus, while Brazilians do eat black beans, they do not have the same sweet taste as English beans. “Ours are completely normal,” he told his compatriot Gabriel Martinelli, who was amused by these culinary remarks.
The light-hearted exchange delighted fans on social media, who were happy to learn more about a player’s perspective on cultural differences, even when it comes to food.
