Bukayo Saka may be England's 'Starboy' - but he isn't a fan of some of the country's most iconic dishes.

The Arsenal winger has taken part in SPORTbible's Snack Wars, where guests taste a variety of food dishes from two countries.

In the latest episode, Saka had to eat food from England and Nigeria, where his parents hail from.

And it was the African nation who just about edged the victory - winning 3-2 - with two staples of the English cuisine in particular rubbing the 22-year-old up the wrong way.

The first round saw him presented with Jollof rice against cauliflower cheese, with Saka, who has his own sauce at restaurant Nando's, appearing to spit out the latter.

After taking a first bite, the Hale End graduate immediately started shaking his head, where he then put his hand to his mouth.

The camera then cut to him lifting his head up from under the table.

Things didn't get better for Saka in round two after a scotch egg was laid out for him, leading him to state: "I don't do scotch eggs."

He was left flabbergasted after being told it contains pork, with the forward slicing it in half to get a better look.

Clearly not impressed, he let out a loud groan of disapproval before ultimately opting against even trying it.

England got their first win in the chocolate category with a Twix bar coming out on top against Milo Energy Cubes.

In the crisp round, Saka was presented with Twiglets - a product he has incredibly never heard of before.

Describing them as 'looking like chicken bones', he gave them a 0/10 for being tasteless, with plantain chips giving Nigeria a 3-1 lead.

But England managed to salvage some face in the sweet category, with Love Hearts trumping mint-flavoured candy Tom Tom.
