Polish sausage, Sauerkraut and potatoes

When many people in the United States hear "Polish sausage," they automatically think of pre-cooked, shrink-wrapped kielbasa from the grocery store.

Polish sausage and sauerkraut

In fact, kielbasa is the general Polish word for sausage, but Polish, like German, has many types of sausage.

If you've ever had any other type of Polish sausage, you'll know why we're so sad because we Americans are, for the most part, familiar with only one type.

I'll admit, I'm a kielbasa lollipop that I bought at the US store, and I'm sure I always will.

But when I tasted Polish sausage of a different kind, smooth and exquisite, I learned, Tim said, about the subtle differences that only come from a country that knows sausage well.
