Need Polish Sausage Recipies (Vanity)

[Little Bill]

When I was a kid, newly exiled from Idaho, I ran across Kilbasa(sp) from Chet and Dots on Cottage street in Lynn, Mass, behind St Mikes.

Now, I am not a Pole, my mother was an Irish war bride form Lynn, but this stuff was great, my family is of English descent, we like our meat on a spit and near raw. My Ex, of 27 years, was a Pole but generally burned water.

I discovered that a person that I work with is the grandson of Chet and Dot, and made 85 pounds of the home made stuff in the control room af a major electric utility in Mass, it was great.

Now I want the formula but I have to trade. Like most Poles he likes to eat and loves to trade, help, this has to be right from the bone.

My grandma used to boil hers in water till it turned pink on the inside, and then served it with (homemade) sauerkraut and rye bread. In other words, its usually prepared in a simple manner, as befits a traditionally peasent dish.

My great-grandma would stuff her own, using pork cut with turkey. I don't know if we still have the recipe. Guess its time to give Bapscie a call!

just like any sausage i think Kielbasa is the kind of thing that one should just eat and never see stuffed into casings. i prefer to think that it grows on a kielbasa tree and that polacks everywhere just go out and harvest it... : ) i have never had homemade, only Brztinsky's from Leechburg, PA.

Boil it in beer till pink, throw on the grill till done.

Serve on a bun with kraut, saute onions and beer.

Buns kraut and onions optional.

Always accompany with Pierogi and Golapki. Follow with Cafe Au Lait and Paczki. :-)

Believe it or not, we are lucky enough to have a Polish deli here in Seattle, not too far from where I work. I try to stop there every friday, if only for the pickles.

i live in northern VA/DC now, but along with Martin, am originally from Pittsburgh, where there are OLD ethnics. Nothing like that here and i miss that stuff so much. Mrs. T's pierogies do NOT measure up!

Kielbasa Ping, Cousin

our friend anonymoussierra lives in Poland, perhaps he can help you. He's the real deal.

[Clemenza]

Pittsburgh and Philly are stuck in a time warp. I mean that as a compliment.

Luckily, there have been enough "new Polish" immigrants to places like NYC and Chicago to open new delis and bakeries.

What's your take on Polish "cuisine."

[xsmommy]

my maternal grandparents were both from Lithuania, and my paternal grandmother was Ukrainian, paternal grandfather was Polish. i do make the poppyseed bread for Christmas, but have never done any of the other stuff from scratch.

[Clemenza]

Polish on my father's side of the family (ironically, from an area now part of the Ukraine), Italian (from Salerno) on my mom's side. Lots of good food for the taste buds, if not for the waistline!

[xsmommy]

we have about a zillion asian, middleeastern, and african restaurants, but not a single eastern european one. i would kill for that!

[xsmommy]

polack+dago makes a nice combo : )

[Little Bill]

Turkey?, My pal started with 85 pounds of pork butt, this is Christmas Kilbasa from Galatia, do they have turkies there, do they have Polocks there, or are they Ukrainians, there is some confusion.
