Hi does any1 know if 'kiev' means garlic butter in the french language?! thanx! :-)

[Mortartube]

Not to my knowledge. I assume that you are refering to the Chicken Kiev, named after the Russian city of Kiev.

[bernardo]

I presume that Mortartube is referring to the Ukrainian city of Kiev.

[melandraf]

"buerre" is french for butter....

[bernardo]

No, that's Ukrainian. "Beurre" is the French for butter.

Click http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/PoultryDish
es.htm and scroll down to the blue heading 'Chicken Kiev'. There, you will find the reason the dish was given the name of the city of Kiev. ('Kiev' does not mean 'garlic butter' in French, Russian or any other language!)

[Mortartube]

Bernardo, I was indeed referrring to the Ukranian city of Kiev. My apologies.
