David Beckham turned 42 on Tuesday and the football legend shared a photo of his bizarre birthday “dinner of choice.”

When you think of Beckham, you think of Manchester United, Real Madrid, and the LA Galaxy. We think of a British cultural icon, “Golden Balls,” brass bands, and patriotism.

But after seeing this photo, all that comes to mind are kids being let loose in a kitchen.

One can only assume that Becks wanted a birthday dinner that would invoke pre-teen memories of muddy knees at his old Leytonstone family home.
