Nope, never -

Nope, Kishka.

Like Kapusta, it smells sooooo good cooking, but to me the taste is meh. Since I can't have onions anymore, the sausages and Kapusta are out. A whole lot of things are out.

...forgot Babka, Krakow sausage, Krakus ham & Kolacky (I've tried my hand at Kolacky and Babka myself, I'm not very good at Babka).

My Dad did, and loved it...until he found out what it was. We never had it in the house when I was a kid.

But the thing that is called a "Polish" in a Hot Dog joint, ain't Polish Sausage. It's an overprocessed, bloated hot dog that may have some of the kielbasa spices. They don't even taste the same.

Grew up on Kielbasa, Kishka, Golubki, Kapusta, & Cauliflower Mushroom (including hunting through woods for the thing).

Wouldn't touch any of that with a ten foot Pole.

"Kowalski" real surname is probably something non-Polish.

What gave it away?

That ain't polish sausage, that's a "polish" - a glorified hot dog. This is polish sausage (fresh, unsmoked), and it won't fit on a bun -

In other words, heads up, here comes the latest flood of lame zeni alts.

Sooo, zeni's girdle failed?

Hot Dogs w/o Ketchup is a Chicago thing. The hot dog is already sweet & you want to pour something loaded with either sugar or HFCS on it?

I used to eat french fries with mayo like they do in Belgium. I had no foreknowledge that they did that. Ever since I was little, when my Mom would make pierogis, she'd take the excess dough and pan fry it as little nuggets. I love those things. Now she skips the pierogis & just makes those nuggets. Comfort food that's so basic & so good! A little salt & lately, chipotle sour cream on them.

As long as they brought in an Arborist to do it right & didn't just start hacking away.
