Shoppers say £2.29 Lidl Valentine's meal looks like 'cut off human ears'

Yesterday, supermarket giant Lidl launched its luxurious budget Valentine's Day range in stores. Prices for its Valentine's Day themed food start at £1.99, and the range includes items like heart-shaped macarons, heart-shaped chicken nuggets, ice cream cones shaped like roses, and steak with prosecco butter.

Lidl's range for Valentine's Day 2023 allows shoppers to enjoy a luxury, restaurant-style meal for less than £10. But while most of the items have got shoppers excited, one of its meals has repulsed some people - who are saying it looks like 'bloody human ears'. Tasty

Posting on both Facebook and Instagram, the NewFoodsUK page shared pictures from the Lidl Valentine's Day range. The post read: "New Valentine’s Day products at Lidl GB." But it wasn't long before shoppers pointed out that the red Ravioli with Ricotta Cheese, Tomato and Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, looks a little bit gruesome.

Kieran Fox said: "I thought that ravioli was bloody cut off ears" He added: " Cannot unsee it now."

Louise Thompson agreed: "Why did I think the box of ravioli was a load of ears?" On the brand's Instagram page, heistchocolate said: "The ravioli look like ears."

Adele Paterson said: "I thought this was a pack of ears." Katrina James said: "I thought it was tongues."

Bloody body parts aside, shoppers were excited to try the range. They're calling it 'delicious' and 'yummy'.

Julie Cooper exclaimed: "Looks delicious." Natalie Patnell said: "Gnocchi and ravioli! The red velvet puds look good too."

Helen James said; "we need to get all of these!!!" Bethany Thompson-Lee excitedly said: "Macaron hearts!!"
