Hard up romantics are still splashing out this Valentines day only they’ve swapped the traditional Roses for Ornamental Cabbages thanks to these floral looking varieties being grown in Lincolnshire by farmer T.H.Clements & Sons. What’s more you can even cook then as a romantic meal accompaniment as they are all edible.
Spokesman Chris Gedney said “We are always looking to develop new and exciting varieties of products for our customers. After a few trials it became clear that the flowering cabbages were going to be a big hit, especially with the most romantic day of the year approaching. When we introduced them into the pack house many of the staff joked that we were turning into a florist as opposed to a vegetable packers. We have even supplied them for a wedding, where the bride was looking for an innovative ʻsomething newʼ.
The products have since been nicknamed ʻCupids Cabbageʼ by our staff.
So if any of our readers have ever fancied having a vegetarian now your chance!
Bride Victoria Kelly said”I was looking for something innovative and cheap in the current economic climate and Clements came up trumps.”
Daily Sport says – Who’d have thought the way to a woman’s heart in the 21st century would be with a colourful cabbage. Vegetarians will definitely be in for a treat this Valentines day.
