If you didnāt manage to get your hands on a love sausage this weekend, worry not, because there are plenty more novelty meat dishes to go around this Valentineās Day. Weāre not quite sure whoās asked for them, but the supermarkets are set on delivering.
After becoming a viral talking point last week, the M&S love sausage became the retailerās āfastest-selling sausageā (quite the accolade, donāt you think?), with shops reportedly selling out of the heart-shaped pigs-in-blanket dish in minutes. Now, the retailer has promised fresh deliveries to stores every morning up until Valentineās Day.
Keen to get in on the act, Morrisonās has stepped the ridiculousness up a notch, revealing its sweetheart steak ā a ribeye steak in, you guessed it, a heart shape. Yum.
The supermarketās butchers will be creating the steaks in stores using traditional butchery skills so that minimal meat is wasted.
Allowing ācarnivorous couples to show their loveā, the spokespersonās words not ours, youāll be able to buy a sweetheart steak for Ā£20/kg, available in stores until the 16th February.
Paul Robinson, butchery specialist at Morrisons, says: āThis is the perfect Valentineās Day food for customers that are looking to impress. Before you even cut into it, this steak sends a romantic message.ā Sure it does, Paul.
However if the idea of meat turns your stomach, M&S has also got a meat-free option with its vegan heart ābeetā burgers for Ā£3.50. Though we suspect they wonāt be quite as popular.
