I have to admit I was unaware this was insulting to those from Ukraine. They also don’t like to be referred as “the” Ukraine as opposed to just Ukraine. They think it makes them sound like a state from Russia still rather than a country in its own right.
I’ve little idea what people call London outside of English and I can’t imagine caring.
Surely this will give the Ukrainians the boost the need to repel the Russians
My initial reaction was this is a bit daft but the gb news types are playing offended over it so I am for it. Fuck those fake outrage idiots
Really giving it to Putin, he’s shaking in his boots now.
Was really confusing to me when I came here first, as in Poland we call them a De Vollaile.
I think it would be a nice gesture if Saino’s put a Ukrainian flag on the packaging and a small charitable donation went to a refuge aid fund. Just renaming it seems a bit silly to me personally.
No chickens 🐓 in Kiev. All brave.
Should rename it “BRAVE KYIV”
If you put your chicken kyiv in the oven upside down the filling doesn’t run out.
Its worth noting too that Sainsbury’s, in addition to this, has stopped selling Russian Standard vodka and some other Russian products.
Similar thing happened in Poland – shops are renaming “pierogi ruskie” (ruthenian dumplings) to “pierogi ukraińskie” (Ukrainian dumplings) because ruskie can be confused with Russian, and not the Ruthenian region where they originated.
Put a slice of bread under the chicken Kyiv when cooking it’ll absorb the garlic juices extra cheeky treat
The number of people on the internet who are incapable of seeing something and going “well, alright then” and moving on with their day is quite perplexing sometimes.
Don’t give them too much praise for this, they are still paying their workers minimum wage so maybe they could help out English people by not being so greedy.
whoever marked this as “breaking news” needs to do one
Whilst this seems like a teeny tiny small detail, this is quite a big deal to me as a Ukrainian.
And it was at this moment… putin knew.. he had fucked up
Isn’t it about time “crème anglaise” became known as “English custard”?!
The name ‘Iceland chicken Kiev’ is just the name of the main ingredient plus two place names
We’re coming up with weirder and weirder platitutudes that appeal to social media, are quick to read and cause the maximum faux outrage. How pleased the idiots in marketing must be with themselves, whatever these guys are on I want some of it, because they’re living in a different dimension. I thought clapping for the NHS was the peak but here we are.
This could be the move that really turns the tide and gets Russia to back off I think
No matter how big a tragedy is, always count on a corporation to stick their name to it for profit.
***Hooray for pandering!***
The dish is of Russian origin and the spelling nothing but a meaningless matter of indistinguishable phonetics since Ukraine also uses the Cyrillic alphabet
Not calling the place *The* Ukraine has some meaning, but even *that’s* meaningful only in foreign contexts since neither Ukrainian nor Russian have a definite article.
Pandering, and nothing more.
More importantly than this mere gesture is they’ve stopped selling Russian sourced Vodka – as have Waitrose (there may be others).
They’re also removing russian products from their shelves like Russian Vodka. Seems somewhat hypocritical though that they refused to do the same for Israeli products stating that “We are a non-political organisation.”
Get a grip. Seriously is there any depths that companies will not stoop to for profit?
Children are dying in a war zone and they want to jump on the band wagon for extra profit on fucking chicken. Boils my piss
This will be the last straw for Putin. He will retreat now for sure…
My wife has been trying for a while to master a home-made chicken kiev recipe, so we’ve taken to calling them chicken Karkovs – “similar to Kiev, but not quite there”.
And helps Ukraine how? Seems like sainsburys are just try to make business from war. Shame
right up there with thoughts and prayers. so courageous.
