A daughter has put the Harrods chicken Kiev to the test, buying the luxury department store's version for her 80-year-old father. Kate Keogh paid £15.93 for the breaded chicken dish, which she described as 'very posh', and shared his verdict online.
Ms Keogh visited the Harrods food hall in London, where she was 'instantly distracted' by the selection. Alongside the chicken Kiev, she purchased a caviar bag of crisps, a rotisserie wrap, honey cake and a chocolate bar, spending nearly £50 in total. She admitted it was one of her 'more indulgent food shops'.
When she presented the Kiev to her father, Joe, he noted it smelled good and was 'very very big', adding 'you'd want it to be for that price'. After heating it up, Ms Keogh said it lacked the garlicky aroma of standard shop-bought Kievs.
Joe's verdict was that the chicken was 'certainly nice and moist' but not 'runny'. He concluded it was 'good' but 'not worth it'. The filling was solid rather than a runny garlic butter, which Ms Keogh likened to 'mushy peas'. Both agreed it was tasty but not worth the hefty price tag.
