Chicken can be difficult to eat at the best of times.

The continentals do it better.

You see I am a practiced hand at this knife and fork malarkey." STORY: Ben Moore, a BBC reporter and a father-of-two, staged a fine dining experience for his children in Petworth, England on Saturday (March 28) during the coronavirus lockdown.

"We had a hard week like most families juggling working from home and homeschooling, so the wife and I decided to have a date night on Saturday.

The kids soon got wind of this and wanted to make us dinner and serve us… which would have been a disaster, so we switched it around," Moore told Reuters.

Moore's wife Ellie Crisell, a presenter at the BBC, filmed the dinner on video, capturing the moment Moore poured milk into a wine glass and his son swirled and took a sip for quality.

The video has gone viral and had been watched over two million times by Tuesday (March 31).
