Just had some Schmalz's Kielbasy. Springfield, NJ
Excellent, tasty and juicy. I'll get that again. Pricey but worth
it.

They are about an hour away from me. Never heard of them before. I'll
have to get down there at some point.

that will be the real, test to see if someone on the east coast thinks
it is as good as someone out here in the boonies does :-)
It reminded me of back home where we could get sausage made in local
butcher shops

There are several places within even 20 minutes that I can get sausage
like that - a pork store, that is a butcher shop, too, of course, but
there is a good-sized community of Polish immigrants in this part of
NJ and I have found some terrific kielbasa at various delis.

Alas, my favorite store, where you could see the smoke house if you
drove around the block, closed down. I think the owner's very elderly
father was keeper of the recipes and master smoker and when he went,
the place just did not last long.

Someone who worked for one of my husband's customers, makes his own,
old-world sausage. I'd send jam or bread and get back some great
stuff, though his venison version was a bit dry.

Perhaps I need to develop a recipe for sausage rolls. Hmmmmm...

i'd rather have it a bit dry than too soggy.
i don't want to pay for watered down stuff.

yah! we know someone who knows someone, alas i
really don't like the recipe they use so i'd rather
they didn't give it to us but someone else who
could eat it.

my favorite Polish sausage is made by Kryziak's
in Bay City. plenty of garlic so i can enjoy the
burps the rest of the day. they used to get
some at my local grocery store but now we have to
drive over to Bay City to pick up our own - luckily
we usually have to go there once in a while anyways
so it isn't an extra trip.

I had when that happens. There was a called Judy' Bakery that had the
best butter tarts I have ever tasted. I used to ride my bicycle down
there, 4 km round trip, and figured I could reward myself by buying a
package of them to bring home. Judy got sick and the place closed down.
After a couple weeks he daughter daughter took over running it. She had
most of the the products that Judy have made, but not the butter tarts.
Her mother would not give her the recipe. Judy recovered a bit and they
had butter tarts again. It didn't last long. She relapsed and died,
taking her recipe with her. Since they were one of the biggest sellers
in the bakery it just didn't survive without them.

That's awful that the recipe and method is lost forever. Signature
items just aren't easy to replicate.

I do not understand why the mother would not tell her daughter the
recipe. Must be a backstory there.

The area from Philadelphia to New York has some great kielbasa. Given
where it is from, chances are it is good stuff. Best I ever had came
from New York.

One of my concerns about moving to Florida was the good ethnic food we
had on a regular basis. Turns out, there is lots of good stuff here and
it is strongly influenced by transplants from the Northeast. A pizza
place near me was excellent. Turns out, the owner had a pizza place in
NY. The supermarket carries Taylor pork roll and Habbersett's scrapple,
Ray's NY bagels (frozen). There is an Italian restaurant we've not
tried yet but they go on about their authentic Sicilian dishes. Turns
out the chef/owner is from New Jersey.

Well, you can't get more authentic Italian than that.

You jest, but if you knew Northern NJ, you'd understand.

Here in St Louis MO there's the neighborhood The Hill, south STL CITY where many European immigrants came in the 1900 WHITE immigration rush, when 3 of my 4 grandparents came over from Germany. My grandfather brewed his OWN beer and I remember my father telling me how he and his younger sister helped their father in his beer making efforts! **** Prohibition!! :-)

I come from a long line of Anarchists!!

I looked at the link you provided and I see that the kielbasy got
great reviews. I'd tried kielbasa a couple of times while I lived out
here and thought why bother. I might as well as been eating cheap
hotdogs. This stuff was different. I'm glad I brought it home.
