A Russian friend of mine once told me Chicken Kiev was invented by the French. I did some research, and it appears so.
| quote: | | Chicken Kiev - This famous method of preparing chicken, which is served in most Ukrainian restaurants, is not of Ukrainian origin as the name Kiev would imply. It was invented by Appert, a Frenchman who invented the canning of food and called it Chicken Supreme. The name Chicken Kiev was given this method of preparing chicken by early New York restaurants to try to please the many Soviet immigrants. The name went back to Europe and is used in most places to describe Chicken Supreme. |
