Kiełbzak

Kiełbzak is a regional, primarily Silesian and Greater Poland (Wielkopolska), term for a type of sausage, often referring to a less refined or lower quality sausage. The term often carries a slightly derogatory or humorous connotation, suggesting a sausage made with cheaper ingredients or less desirable cuts of meat. While not a specific recipe, kiełbzak implies a sausage that might be coarser in texture and flavor compared to more premium sausages. It is generally understood to be a cooked and smoked sausage, though the specifics vary by location and individual butcher. The term is often used informally and may not be found in formal culinary dictionaries.
