A derivative of a Polish word, “kielbasa” refers in certain parts of Europe as a particular type of sausage, while in the U.S., it has come to be indicative of what most Americans refer to as “Polish Sausage,” a pork and garlic concoction generally in a natural casing.<\/p>\n

Johnsonville’s version is pure pork, with flavorings, and the label attests to no fillers(1). The casing is collagen; collagen casings are often used in mass-production for consistency and ease in manufacturing. \u00a0Collagen casings, made from the collagen and bones of beef or hogs, are considerably less expensive in the manufacturing process, as well.<\/p>\n

The product comes six to a 14 oz package, and is manufactured at Johnsonville’s plant (USDA est. 34224) in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

As with most products in this segment, the sausages are fully cooked right out of the package, and consumers merely need heat them to their preferred level of \u00a0‘doneness’. I pan fry \u00a0to put a little char on them, as for me, that gives them a texture more closely resembling a natural casing.<\/p>\n

This is a very mild sausage, with flavor more reminiscent of hot dogs, than any sausage served in Poland or in Polish owned emporiums in America.<\/p>\n

The mild flavor and fine grind are not strikes against Johnsonville’s product, but more indicative of a sausage that will be widely accepted by most of the population.<\/p>\n

Served on a egg roll with yellow mustard and sauerkraut.<\/p>\n
