Broiler

Broiler (especially in open plan. Engl. To broil roast, broil ) was a common particularly in the GDR term for roast chicken or roast chicken, which is still widely used especially in East Germany.

The term is Anglo-American origin, and derives from the Middle French bruiller (French: brûler = "Burn " ) from. " Webster 's" Dictionaries define a broiler as " a ( young ) chicken suitable for broiling " ( " a suitable for grilling / frying [ young ] chicken / chicken " ), without distinguishing between a Fachbergriff poultry farming and generic names. In the technical language of the poultry farmers of all German-speaking countries, the term " broiler " "means for fattening particular chicken ". Broiler was in the GDR in 1961, the genus name for fried chicken, as there broilers were sold from a Bulgarian Geflügelzüchterei. The Bulgarians had been inspired by the Anglo-American " broiler " these broilers the brand names brojleri. The Bulgarian name for such poultry is Pile, Bulg пиле - " chicken ". Since then the word has in the German as well as in Anglo-American, both meanings, both for the broiler chicken in poultry farming as for the grill ready chicken / chicken as food.

According to new research language, the name probably came Broiler follows in the GDR: breeders from the Eastern bloc countries, above all the Soviet Union wanted to breed a particularly rich roast chicken meat, but this was only on a modest scale. In the 1950s, however, a Bremen-based company had grown such a rich chicken meat from several old German breeds and sold to an American Poultry Company. Whether the name was already in use as broiler brand name from the German or only from the U.S. company is not exactly known. What is certain is that broiler came over said U.S. firm the expression in the GDR. The reason was the above-mentioned failed attempt to breed the meaty fried chicken. Therefore, the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance decided in the late 1950s to import the chicken breed from the American company. This should however be done for political reasons over Bulgaria. In this way, the broiler then spread in the Eastern Bloc.

Other sources predict that the broiler breed was developed in the 1960s in a Bulgarian town Tolbuchin. There, for the first time succeeded in the industrial mass rearing of broilers in ten weeks at a weight of about 1.5 kg. For better marketing abroad one used for the new breed derived from the American name " brojleri ".

In the GDR for advertising purposes the term Goldbroiler was used. From the vernacular led concepts from such as silver or bronze Broiler Broiler, which is approximately equivalent to the rubber eagle ( for an inferior, tough meat or poor chicken ).

According to East German Duden broilers weigh after eight to ten weeks 1.2 to 1.4 kg and the Bulgarian broilers in the 1960s weighed ten weeks rearing around 1.5 kilograms.

The term broiler is in use in other languages, such as in the Finnish broileri and Swahili.
