Steak bouquet for Valentine's Day

Antony Bowness, a butcher from Tewkesbury, has crafted a bouquet from sirloin steak, inspired by a customer who entered his shop carrying a bunch of roses.

“I get asked every year what I’d like for Valentine’s Day and I never know what to suggest,” he said. “Soppy cards aren’t really my thing and it got me thinking about what I could make for other men out there like me.

“I had a ‘Eureka’ moment one day when a customer came in with a bunch of flowers. I started playing around with the idea and realised it was actually quite easy to do. I mean if you can make a dress from meat, then why not a bunch of roses?”
