Hi FrankU,
To the best of my knowledge here in the Uk most people would recognise it as in broiler house where the broiler chickens are reared.

| A broiler is a grill, which is the word mostly used in the parts of Europe I've been to. Also, in cookery books you often see the terms 'to grill' or 'to broil'. |

Hello Mister Micawber, the person I talked to referred to the chicken - it turned out that broiler used to be a very popular word in east Germany. I didn't know of the appliance called broiler. Is it a grill for meat? And there are combinations with broiler, for example "broilerplate response". Are there any other expressions with "broiler"?
Thanks
Frank
