Name of this particular Polish sausage

Edited by: melbel May 28, 09, 19:32 / #

I live in Northwest Indiana, a large Polish community and in stores they sell this sausage simply called "Polish sausage." It looks like Bratwurst and has a similar texture, but tastes way better (In my opinion.) It contains various spices and seasoning including garlic.

Anyway, my dad travels a lot and says he can't find Polish sausage anywhere else he goes. When he visits his sister he has to bring some down with him in a cooler because she misses it so much. It is even sold in the chain grocery stores around here like Kroger, but isn't sold in Krogers in other areas.

I know that the term kielbasa is a really vague term meaning really just any kind of Polish sausage, so I want the specific name of this particular type of sausage. Anyone know?

I've included a picture. This is what it looks like cooked. It is a pale color when it is uncooked... like a brat, actually.

Bratwuerste I know are quite pale (they are not smoked) and the only Polish kielbasa I know to look similar is 'biala kielbasa' "white sausage" - but as far as I can tell they don't add garlic to white sausage (at least where I live) what you got here on picture is to my guess a batch of fried smoked sausage - there are numerous types - but most do contain and taste strongly of garlic

I am afraid you won`t get a good explanation. There are various kinds of sausage made from different recipes. Each producer names its kind like they want. It is impossible to guess the name just looking at the sausage. It is the same with beer. Show someone a glass of beer and ask them to guess its name. I am sorry, I can`t help you. But I can show you the sausage called wiejska -( country), or swojska- home made.

melbel, have you got a pic of that sausage, but not grilled? The one you posted is grilled and it's really hard to say.

plk123: it's just polska kielbasa No, my friend... Not "just" a kiełbasa. It's ZWYCZAJNA! :) Did you know that kaszanka is a sausage?
