Son Heung-min, the talented midfielder for Tottenham, had the opportunity to taste and compare British and Korean snacks. SPORTBible invited him to participate in Snack Wars, where he was served with an array of treats from both countries. As a proud South Korean, Son was excited to see which snacks would come out on top.
First up on the menu was the popular British snack, Jaffa Cakes, and the Korean treat, Choco Pie. However, Son's reaction to the Jaffa Cakes was less than enthusiastic. He forced himself to eat it, but his disappointment was evident. "What's inside? Orange? Why? I'm sorry. That's such a disappointment, I'm devastated," Son expressed. The Choco Pie, on the other hand, seemed to win him over with its delicious taste.
Next, Son was served with a jar of pickled onions, another British classic. After giving it a few cautious sniffs, he decided to take a bite, but it was clear that he didn't enjoy it. "I'm sorry. To be fair, the onion is not too bad. It's the sauce...with some other food you maybe deal with it," Son explained after quickly closing the lid. He ultimately declared the Korean snack, Kimchi, as the clear winner.
When it came to choosing between Jellycious and Love Hearts, Son chose the former and also revealed that his teammate, Ben Davies, would be the one he would share his snacks with. "I would say Ben Davies, he's my best friend he is always next to me, pushing me. We have similar personalities, similar hobbies and we get on really well," Son shared.
There was one victory for British confection as Son chose Tottenham cake over a Custard Pie from his homeland. Son has been a key player for Tottenham this season, scoring three goals and providing three assists. However, he has also faced some injuries, missing six games due to issues with his hamstring and thigh. Currently on international duty, Son scored a goal in South Korea's 3-1 victory over Kuwait in their World Cup qualifier. He will also be playing against Palestine in a match at the Amman International Stadium.
Son and Tottenham will soon return to domestic action, facing off against Manchester City on Saturday evening. With his talent and skill, Son is sure to continue making an impact on both the national and international stage.
