Biala (can be fresh or smoked) Wiejska (I think it's always smoked, but I could be wrong)

Not wrong - I was saying that Biala Kielbasa is what most know as Kielbasa from a grocery chain store. My Dad was rather partial to Kishka (as in the polka standard, "Who Stole the Kishka?"). You or I might know the difference between biala, wiejska, kishka, etc. but most won't and will only associate kielbasa as the biala kind. And don't get me started on the schlubs that think an oversized hot dog (aka "a Polish") is genuine kielbasa. HARUMMMPH!

I think there used to be a brand name grill called "Hibachi" (like Weber is a grill brand), so that might have lent to the confusion for some.

Polish-Ukranian & German-Irish-Scot...I got the stubbornness yatzee!

Well, that's just being sensible.

Not only predates the Bloc, but there are variations world-wide. Or don't you like potstickers either?

Groovy, man. Far out!

Can't eat them - Fructose. My dad had the same issues, but by the time he found out, he had stage 4 cancer, so it wasn't the main problem.

Did you mean pierogies? My dad used to like the plum filled *shudder*. I'm good with the potato/potato & cheese filled.

You do know the translation of Kielbasa is "sausage", right? Most grocery stores drop the "Biala" (translated as "White") from what is considered to be traditional Polish Kielbasa. In short, they weren't wrong. You got sausage, so you got kielbasa.

Old saying was "Smoke follows beauty".

Fictional character. I was only including actual people, so feel free.

If 2020 was a Christmas Present

How about a nice samovar?
