Brooklyn Beckham follows in his father David’s adventurous footsteps as he reveals he’s eaten COD SPERM – and he’s keen to tuck into raw chicken next
He has proved a dab hand at photography, cooking and football.
Now Brooklyn Beckham is following in his dad’s footsteps, not by playing for England, but by eating cod sperm.
Adding a surprising twist to his culinary adventures, the 25-year-old self-proclaimed foodie has revealed it is one of the ‘strangest’ foods he has ever tried.
Appearing on Seth Meyers’ podcast Family Trips this week, the eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham admitted that he ‘doesn’t regret’ any of the foods he’s eaten.
Seth, 51, and his brother Josh Meyers, 49, giggled in agreement, with Seth saying ‘Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.’
Josh added: ‘That has to be toughest.’
But Brooklyn’s bizarre food desires do not stop there, as he also admitted he ‘really wants to try’ eating raw chicken next.
He told the brothers that there is a Japanese dish in Tokyo where the patrons eat the ‘clean and fresh’ raw meat, usually considered a risky delicacy.
‘They serve it to you like sashimi,’ he said.
‘Usually, she isn’t a fan of those restaurants where they feed you one thing every 20 minutes,’ Brooklyn explained, recalling a surprise date night he planned at Vespertine, a three-star Michelin restaurant in Los Angeles.
But despite her initial hesitation and to the famous foodie’s delight, Nicola, 30, reportedly ‘absolutely’ loved the experience and has since embraced fine dining alongside her husband.
‘Now she likes to go to those restaurants with me,’ he said.
Because David has been a long-time fan of cod sperm, also known as cod milt, a delicacy in Japanese cuisine.
Frequently compared to pork brains, the dish has a soft, creamy texture, while its taste is said to be sweet.
The former England captain’s enthusiasm for the dish is well-documented on social media as he has shared his love for cod sperm on Instagram over the years.
In 2018, during a visit to his favourite Japanese restaurant in Singapore, the football legend enjoyed it so much that he even ordered it twice.
On another occasion, the father-of-four proudly posted about his gastronomic adventures, captioning one Instagram story with ‘sea beam sperm’, followed by another with ‘more sea bream sperm.’
In November 2017, he also posted similar pictures to his then 43.3 million Instagram followers, delighting in the ‘cod sperm’ and ‘fried cod sperm.’
It comes as just last month, Brooklyn added ‘wine influencer’ to his ever-evolving CV after trying his hand at cookery and photography.
In an Instagram video for auction house Sotheby’s, Brooklyn revealed his apparent passion for vintage wine.
The aspiring chef, who previously stated that his favourite wine is a £2,500 bottle of Petrus 1979 Pomerol, delved further into the topic with a wine specialist.
