Romelu Lukaku got more than he bargained for when he paid a visit to his friend Serge Ibaka's house as part of the NBA star's YouTube cooking show.
For Lukaku's episode Ibaka chose to serve up a Congolese speciality dish of chicken feet and couscous but the meal did not go down well.
Lukaku was born in Antwerp, Belgium and represents their national team but is of Congolese descent and revealed he was going to organise a trip to his ancestral home for next summer.

'I'm planning a trip to Congo,' Lukaku said. 'I speak Congolo at my house, I listen to Congolese music, I eat Congolese food. I have a Belgian passport but that doesn't define my nationality.'
But Ibaka's effort, of fried chicken feet spiced with ginger and pepper and served with buttered couscous, was a step too far for Lukaku.
'What the hell is that?,' Lukaku said. 'Chicken legs? Are you tying to kill me? The nails are coming out of it!'
After some persuasion from Ibaka and a few false starts where he convulses and wretches, Lukaku reluctantly agrees to bite into the chicken leg.
But after a brief chew the taste and texture is too much for Lukaku and he runs off to Ibaka's bathroom to spit the speciality out into the sink.
'You can be in my best man team at me wedding but I am not letting you anywhere near the cooking!,' Lukaku tells his friend.
Earlier the sports stars spoke about their seasons last year with Lukaku reflecting on Belgium's run to the World Cup semi-finals in Russia.
'The first three days after the game I was down,' the Manchester United striker said of the defeat by France. 'It was a good experience we improved a lot.
'We are the greatest team in Belgium's history and one of the best in Europe but we must now take it to the next step.'
Lukaku and his Manchester United team-mate Paul Pogba are friends and met up in California while on holiday in the summer of 2017.
Toronto Raptors' star Ibaka's YouTube show is entitled 'How Hungry Are You?'. In Lukaku's case, the answer is not enough.
