French term
beurre indécis
French to English
Other
Cooking / Culinary
Restaurant Menu
"Filet de poisson du jour à la plancha
Beurre indécis, citronnelle/citron vert
ou senteur d'été (huile d'olive, tomate, persil et citron"
Item on a Swiss restaurant menu. I can't make any sense whatsoever out of "beurre indécis". Well, the "beurre" is obviously butter (which is presumably spread on the fish or perhaps the fish is cooked in it), but indécis??? I mean, whoever heard of indecisive butter? Well, indécis can also mean indistinct or vague, but those don't make too much sense here either. From what I can see, this is not a standard culinary term at all. TIA for any light you can shed on this most bizarre expression.

indécis butter sauce
Or something along that line.
'indécis' is the name of the restaurant, it should be kept as is :)

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "This gets the points by dint of being submitted a bit faster, although the other answer was more thorough with the reference. Contrary to one peer grader's opinion, I DID do the research before coming here. I know what Google is and how to use it. It's my "second line" after dictionaries, and then KudoZ is my "last line" when all other options appear to have proved futile. Anyway, my search for "beurre indécis" did bring up a link to that restaurant, but for some reason I just didn't realise that was the restaurant's name. A case perhaps, as Sherlock Holmes once remarked to Dr Watson, of seeing but not observing. Or a blonde moment. Point is though, I DID do the research beforehand, and I rather resent the insinuation (snidely made by the same person for the second time in a week, and incorrect both times) that I didn't.
Anyway, to those who both saw AND observed, many thanks. Probably best not to enter this in the glossary, as it would sort of be like advertising. But I appreciate everyone's help."

choice of butter
Disappointingly boring, but don't they just mean that you can choose between the lemon grass one and the tomato one?
