Single man goes viral by posting his dinners but he 'doesn't understand' the fuss

A man has become an overnight internet sensation after sharing his bizarre evening meal choices on Instagram.

Jason Jovanovic, 45, was given an account on the platform through work, but claimed he had no idea what to post, so decided to start taking snaps of his grub.

The singleton from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, has attracted a following of more than 30,000 fans thanks to his mish-mash meals - including crab sticks with pepperoni crisps and cheese.

But Jason says he doesn’t understand ‘the fuss’ and insists his single status has nothing to do with his cooking.

He told The Mirror : “I’ve never really been that good in the kitchen.

He said: “I get messages from all over the world, people from Tokyo, China, places in America.

“I don’t understand it myself.

“I don’t see what all the fuss is about they’re just my evening meals when I go home and make dinner.

“I’m single but I don’t think it’s anything to do with my culinary skills.”

Jason, who works as a customer assistant at Bonkers Competitions, is now on the receiving end of gifts including food challenges from restaurants who want to see if he can manage their meals.

One of Jason's most controversial dishes has been his crab sticks and crisps concoction with a side order of pepperoni and a block of cheese (@superpedjason/Instagram)

Such treats have included a family sized trifle and a huge battered sausage dinner challenge.

At home however, Jason prefers yet even more untraditional assortments such as fish with bread and beans; ravioli with Yorkshire puddings and pork chops, or chilli con carne fish fingers and chips.

Despite setting up his Instagram four years ago, Jason rose to fame last month when his account was shared on a Reddit thread.

He said “I told work I’d probably never use the account because I didn’t have anything to post. Then I decided I’d just start posting my dinners.

“I usually just make something out of whatever I’ve got in the cupboards and can pull together after work.

“I get people telling me they’re bizarre or strange choices a lot, it’s just a bit of fun so I don’t really mind what people think.

“I never thought I would get to over 30,000 followers.”
