Moy Park Cheese and Bacon Kiev
Cost at time of review: £1.75 Purchased From: Company Shop
Also Available From Main Supermarkets:
Cost at time of review: £2.70 Supermarket: Asda
I've seen these a few times at the Company Shop when I've visited but not having heard of Moy Park before I wasn't sure if they'd be any good or not so this time I thought I'd give them a try.
It seems to have lost a bit of its shape, but I have to say compared to other brands of a similar product there was very little leakage of the Cheese and Bacon filling.
It doesn't look particularly appetising at this stage but once it was plated up with the garlic butter mushrooms, asparagus and stringless beans it started to look a bit more palatable.
It was a lot tastier than it looks! Not amazingly delicious from a 'proper' Kiev made by taking a whole chicken breast etc. but very acceptable for the price.
Overall I would say this is on par with the ALDI Roosters Kievs I've tried so a very reasonable 3 stars is awarded to the Moy Park Kievs

Rotisserie Roast Pork and Crackling
You can't beat a bit of crackling when you get home from work! That's exactly what I had today - rotisserie roast pork with mashed potatoes and stringless beans.
It's about halfway done in this photo and when there was around 15 minutes left to go I stopped it rotating had the rind facing upwards to crisp up for perfect crackling.
Needless to say I took a small slice just for testing... and it was delicious!
Stringless beans (or runner beans if you can get them) are easy to prepare and quick to cook and the mashed potato was prepared in advanced and quickly heated up on the hob.
All I had to do was stick it in my rotisserie air fryer, press the roast button and 60 minutes later a lovely roast pork with crackling!
