What is the proper pronunciation for the capital of Ukraine? For as long as I can remember it's been "Kee-ev" but suddenly everyone is calling it "Keev." Which is correct?
The former is how it is traditionally pronounced and is using the Russian (and Germanic) pronunciation. I think news anchors have been purposefully pronouncing it in the anglophone equivalent as a slight to Russia.
Sort of. The pronunciation used by most news anchors is the one favored by Ukrainians, while the one that we all remember was the one favored by Russians. This means that there are almost certainly several layers of reasons going on here. The news anchors are likely using the Ukrainian pronunciation more in support of Ukraine, but the Ukrainian pronunciation might be, itself, a thumb of the nose to Russia.
I have a friend who is a first generation Ukrainian immigrant (immigrated when he was 4 in the early 80s). He was a bit upset over the "key've" pronunciation.
I asked why should he care? He's crapped all over his former country since I've known him. He said that it was "the point of it all".
Ex-pats can be a bit weird. They're either pining for the fjords, or casting aspersions. Never seems to be, "it's a great place, but I've moved on."
Yeah, that's my understanding and given the current situation I'm inclined to use Kyiv, it just seems polite. I can't bring myself to order a Chicken Kyiv, chips and peas though.Quote:

I had no idea what a Chicken Kyiv was until now. That looks good.
I do something similar where I pound the chicken until it is flat, line it with provolone cheese and prosciutto, roll it up, and tie it with baking ties. I then cook it on the stove on a super high temp to get a nice color and then swap it to the oven at around 400 to finish cooking it.
I haven't done that in a while though, it is a lot of prep work.
Is that more satisfying than choking it?Quote:

You need to make conch Kyiv. It would take a bit more work.
That really surprises me. I thought it was a pretty universal dish but perhaps it's more of a European thing.Quote:

I've heard of it. I'm pretty sure I've had it, but I can't say all that much about it. I never really tied it to Ukraine, before, though. It's kind of like hamburger or Buffalo chicken in that the name matches some place, but the reality is drifting from that place.
Have you had it or not? I like it with *OH **** WWIII*Quote:
