Various types of kielbasa
Kiełbasa is the Polish word for sausage. The word has become a
commonly used North American term for Eastern European styles of
sausage, including Ukrainian sausage, which is called kovbasa or kubasa.

[edit] Etymology
The term entered English simultaneously from different sources, which
accounts for the different spellings. In the United States, the form
kielbasa (usually pronounced /kiË lˈbÉ'Ë sÉ™/ or
/kɪlˈbÉ'Ë sÉ™/) is more often used and comes from
the Polish kiełbasa [kʲewˈbasa] ( listen)"sausage",
perhaps a derivation from the Turkic kül bastï "grilled cutlet"[1]).
In New Jersey, Pennsylvania and most areas of Greater New York City, the
Czech pronunciation, or possibly a derivative of the Polish word is
used, and is usually pronounced "ke-bah-see" or "keu-bah-sah." In
addition to kielbasa, Canadians also use the word kubasa (pronounced
/kuË bÉ'Ë ËˆsÉ'Ë ,
ˈkuË bÉ™sÉ'Ë /), a corruption of the Ukrainian
kovbasa (ÐºÐ¾Ð²Ð±Ð°Ñ Ð°), and Albertans even
abbreviate it as kubie to refer to the sausage eaten on a hot dog
bun.[2]
[edit] Usage
Sausage is a staple of Polish cuisine and comes in dozens of varieties,
smoked or fresh, but almost always based on pork (although in many
areas, it is available in beef, and sometimes in turkey, horse, lamb,
veal, or bison), every region having its own speciality. Popular
varieties include:
kabanosy, a thin, air-dried sausage flavoured with caraway seed,
originally made of horsemeat (but today usually pork or turkey)
krakowska, a thick, straight sausage hot-smoked with pepper and garlic;
its name comes from Kraków
wiejska ([ˈvʲejska]), a large U-shaped pork and veal sausage
with marjoram and garlic; its name means "rural" or (an adjectival use
of) "country", or (adjectival use of) "village".
weselna, "wedding" saussage, medium thick, u-shaped smoked saussage;
often eaten during parties, but not exclusively
In the U.S., "kielbasa" almost always means some form of wiejska
(although often not U-shaped and seldom containing veal), which may be
unsmoked ("fresh") or fully or partly smoked. Similar sausages are found
in other Slavic nations as well, notably Russia (spelled
"ÐºÐ¾Ð»Ð±Ð°Ñ Ð°", i.e. "kolbasa"), the Czech
Republic (spelled "klobása") and Slovakia (spelled "klobása"). In
Ukraine "kovbasa" is properly pronounced [kowbÉ''sÉ'], but in
English is usually pronounced /ˈkÊŒbÉ™sÉ'Ë /.
Original kielbasa is also called "Polska kiełbasa" for "Polish
Sausage" or "Kielbasa Starowiejska" known as "Old Country Style
Sausage". This one comes closest to what is generally known in America
as "kielbasa" (Polish sausage, Polska Kiełbasa). Nowadays, many
major meat packers across America offer a product called "kielbasa," but
it is usually quite different from the original.
In Poland, kielbasa is traditionally served with fried onions, red
horseradish (which is blended with beets), and - in form of small
pieces, fried together with onions - as an addition to pierogi, which
are crescent-shaped dumplings filled with potato, cheese or mushrooms.
Kielbasa can be served hot â€" boiled, baked or grilled. It can be
cooked in soups (such as biały barszcz, kapuśniak, or
grochówka), baked with sauerkraut, or added to bean dishes, stews
(notably bigos, the Polish national dish), and casseroles.
A less widely available variety of kielbasa is the White Fresh
(biała), which is sold uncooked and unsmoked, then usually boiled
or cooked in a soup in place of a typical meat. This variety of kielbasa
taste similar to mild Italian Sausage.
