And rightfully so

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.

Apple chicken sausage is alright. Not sure it’d go with saurkraut & potatoes, but I can live with it.

It's good to know someone cares about the minutiae of horrible eastern bloc cuisine.

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

You don't see me complaining when Americans call teppanyaki "hibachi."

Let's take a look at this article real quick oh look you are wrong

There are white Kielbasa which is known as biała kiełbasa (white sausage)

Okay now that that settled

kiełbasa wiejska (farmhouse sausage). Was what I was expecting

it's a family tradition in my house to have it every Christmas on a bun and the place we regularly order from went out of business

I was expecting the generic less good supermarket variety

But Apple Chicken

@tsar4 I sorry if it came off that I'm mad at you.  Because I am not,  I'm mad that Apple Chicken Sausage exists!

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.

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!

Wiejska is the only type I've ever known and store bought is pretty close flavor wise

Biala (can be fresh or smoked)

Wiejska (I think it's always smoked, but I could be wrong)

Well my family has some Croatian members and a uncle of my mother's would always get ones close to Wiejska

 

We had to shop around to find one similar when another butcher had closed down and my cousin found a place that had one

The place called it smoked pork link though and they sold what they called Kielbasa but it tasted more like a hot dog

[tsar4]

I know the feeling about having a place close.  There was a shop in the Chicago Suburbs that I used to get Biala and Kishka for my Dad & ship it to them.  Just before he passed away, I checked the website and found a bunch of Yelp posts saying they'd just closed all the sudden.  There was a sign up stating they were going to open in a new site, but that disappeared after a couple days.  The website is still functioning & has rotating daily specials, but the place never reopened and the phone number is defunct.  A lot of the refrigeration equipment is still there...or was as of the last pic someone posted.  Even the local paper found it strange.

I hate it when they don't take down websites when the place is out of business.
