Kaszanka

Even though there are numerous regional varieties of this famous Polish blood sausage, it typically consists of pork offal, animal’s blood, barley or buckwheat, and a variety of spices and fresh herbs. Kaszanka was probably created under the influence of German and Danish culinary traditions and was primarily enjoyed by the noblemen. The modern variety of kaszanka appeared later, and today, it is one of the most commonly consumed Polish sausages. Whether grilled, fried, or cooked, it is usually served alongside caramelized onions, potatoes, or sauerkraut.
