Arsenal ace Arshavin excited by British food!

Arsenal star Andrey Arshavin admits he's still trying to get used to London life.

While a huge fan of British history, Arshavin admits the local cuisine is difficult to understand.

He told the Telegraph: "There are a lot of crazy things here. What does 'British food' mean? I heard about fish and chips but I do not eat it. I heard about ales! Ales! A special drink like beer but without gas! I've not tried it. And what is porridge? At home, I eat soups and Russian salads.''

Just the thought of salads set Arshavin off.

"If I go to a restaurant in Russia and ask for simple salad, there are lots of cut tomatoes, cut cucumbers and a few leaves. But here? Opposite way! There are a lot of leaves and one cut tomato and two slices of cucumber!''
