Farm to fork Valentine’s Day meal ideas 5 February 2024 “There is no sincerer love than the love of food” – George Bernard Shaw What is Valentine’s Day? Valentine’s Day, also known as St. Valentine’s Day, is a particular day in the global calendar that’s associated with showing love to loved ones – from partners, family members and friends, to taking care of number one – you. When is Valentine’s Day? Valentine’s Day falls on 14th February and is a day that’s celebrated annually across the world. This year in the UK that date falls on a Wednesday. Now, while some may gift cards in addition to pink and red Valentine’s Day presents, or treat themselves to something new, here at Legges, we believe that great food and drink is truly the way to everyone’s hearts. So, if you’re searching for Valentine’s Day meal ideas, let’s begin by focusing on the most important meal of the day – breakfast! Is there a better smell in the morning than freshly brewed coffee, or a better sound than the gentle tap and crack of eggs, while bacon and sausages sizzle and dance in the pan? You just can’t beat a full English breakfast, can you? And while you may enjoy one from time to time on a slow Sunday morning, why not break up the week in the best possible way and say ‘I love you’ by cooking a Great British breakfast spread that’s fit for a King or Queen? Our Herefordshire Breakfast Hamper for two can be pre-ordered here in Bromyard, at our Hereford farm shop, or can be delivered to your door when you order it online here! Filled with lovingly homemade sausages, local grass fed bacon, free range eggs, fresh buttery croissants, a crusty loaf and so much more, it’s perfect for brekkie in bed or to have a little earlier before you head out of the door, and we guarantee your hearts (and stomachs!) will feel full until lunchtime… It may be a tradition of yours to take Valentine’s Day off work and enjoy a romantic lunch for two! However, if you’d like to show someone you’re thinking of them when they’re at work or just away on Wednesday 14th February, why not put together a picnic lunch that’s brimming with all their favourite foods. From creamy artisan cheeses and fresh pate, to homemade savoury pastries, cold, local meats and charcuterie, a Valentine’s Day picnic is bound to put a smile on anyone’s face! “And what about Valentine’s Day dinner ideas,” we hear you ask… Some may say steak is synonymous with Valentine’s Day, and given this is a farm to fork blog, in our eyes nothing beats a tasty and tender grass fed Herefordshire steak! Accompanied by chips, mash or some dreamy dauphinoise, it’s really just a case of choosing your steak. In a recent blog, our Butchers dive into the top five most popular and best steak cuts so you can make a Valentine’s Day steak dinner to remember! Whatever your plans may be on Wednesday 14th February, just remember – all these foods are for all year round, not just for Valentine’s Day..!
