Post Match Recovery Food

There seems to be a new miracle food which is used as a popular refuelling method (at least here in Devon). Yesterday I saw an under -15 female rugby player using it, her Mum was taking her around the supermarket to find a suitable food and they both went into the car and had one. I know one physiotherapist who uses it as his favourite food stuff in between water polo matches.

What is it?

The pork pie! I may be missing something, but I can’t see the attraction in this during or post exercise. I like the occasional pork pie as much as the next person, but not during or immediately after exercise. The government may have its work cut out trying to stem the obesity epidemic if this is the preferred healthy food of choice.
