Carsten Schmidke posts some interesting recipes on his website.  Many
of them call for "Polish sausages".  Does anyone have any idea what
this might be?  In Washington, DC, many sidewalk vendors sell
something they call "Polish sausages".  When we had a houseguest from
Poland, he asked "which sausage?  There are 630 unique sausages made
in Poland."  Now we have a first class Polish butcher on the Lower
East Side of Manhattan, Kurowicki, but I will be damned if I will walk
up to him and like an idiot, ask for "Polish sausages."

Tom,

German "Polish sausage" is very similar to what is sold in general American 
supermarkets as Kielbasa.

I know it simply means 'sausage' in Polish, but the American type of sausage 
sold under that name falls into a specific category: a large, long sausage, 
usually bound into a "ring."  It is based on a certain type of Polish 
sausage.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
