When asked about his favourite cuisine, the Norwegian star didn’t mention steak, sushi, or some carefully curated athlete-approved meal. Instead, he picked Indian food and this too was not just in passing. Haaland specifically named lamb chops, butter chicken and garlic naan as dishes he genuinely enjoys. Which means he has thoroughly explored the cuisine and picked his favourites out. And of course, for millions of Indians, the answer felt oddly satisfying.
