kiełbasa

Smoked garlic sausage

Kiełbasa is the Polish word for sausage, used in English to refer specifically to a coarse-grained, garlicky smoked sausage of Polish origin.

It's typically made from pork, though beef versions exist.

The word is often anglicized as "kielbasa" without the Polish diacritical mark: We grilled kielbasa and sauerkraut for the cookout.
