Premier League star Roman Pavlyuchenko has moaned that British food doesn’t match that in his homeland Russia.
The £13.8million striker, 27, said meals at Spurs were “simple and modest” and he prefers Russian dumplings.
He whined: “I don’t like their dishes. All they have is a simple canteen. At the Spartak training camp near Moscow the choice and quality of food is better.
“But since my wife Larisa joined me in London it’s not a problem for me anymore. She is a very good cook and now I eat mostly at home. I’m back to my favourite borsch and vareniki (beetroot soup and dumplings stuffed with cottage cheese) and feel as if I never moved countries.”
His comments came a week after the wife of Arsenal’s new £15million Russian striker Andrey Arshavin, 27, also took a swipe at English culture. Yulia, 26, said: “I do not like England. People are too reserved and it’s dull. I do not like English cuisine. Finding the right food may turn into a problem.”

Pampered Pavlyuchenko also complained that English football was too rough. He told Total Football magazine in Moscow: “They play a much harsher football than in Russia. Their referees allow rougher tackling.”
And in a final insult, he said Russian women were prettier than Brits. “There can’t be any comparison,” he said.
