Forget chocolates and jewellery, one man has proven that Tenderstem broccoli can be a romantic gift. Comedy TikToker India Atkinson adores the cruciferous vegetable but was left doing a double-take when her boyfriend of two-and-a-half years, Eddie Baird, presented her with a Valentine’s Day treat like no other.
He planned an entire evening around his girlfriend’s favourite veg, from creating a 'bro-quet' to sprinkling pieces into a heart shape on their bed. India, who has 610,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok combined (@indiasasha) later shared a video of the 'broccoli bombing' online, where it has left social media users hailing her partner a hero.
”Eddie is always quite imaginative on Valentine’s Day but this is the best yet,” said the influencer, who lives with her beau in Belfast. I adore Tenderstem – I eat it most days, but I never thought he’d use it for romance.
