You know how food critics and dietary specialists always criticized the so-called breakfasts served in fast food chains, usually something along the lines of egg, cheese, bacon croissant with hash browns or fries, coffee with cream and sugar and maybe some sweet desert? Sounds quite good, but i got something better, a fattening, rich, heavy traditional Polish breakfast. It is basically a blood sausage in some latin american countries they also have it, you can also find it in spain, in norway they got a variation of it but everywhere its made differently. Traditional Polish kaszanka has pig’s blood, finely ground pig offal (like liver, lungs, skin, and fat), and buckwheat all stuffed into a long 1 – 2 inch in diameter pigs intestine, then its cooked in large pots which keep temperature of about 100 Deg C. You can eat it cold, warm right after its made, you can fry it too. And that’s how I like it, first you need to chop up some onions about one per person, then you take some smoked bacon or fat smoked sausage and you fry it first so the fat gets out and onions caramelize, then you peel off the intestine ( you don’t eat the intestine) and throw small pieces into the pan, you don’t have to fry it a lot, just for it to fall apart and mix with bacon and onions. Then you serve it… kaszanka already has spices in it but I always add more black pepper. Plate it and eat it. Like always I will still add some cayenne pepper because I like it hot, my gf eats it with ketchup. You can serve it in a bun, on a plate you can even make dumplings using it. Of course you gotta remember that this is everything that is unhealthy – carbs from the wheat, fat from kaszanka fat, from the bacon, heavy onions… but its good, it can also be served for lunch and even dinner. This one is especially good, it was home made 3 days ago. I love fresh home made deli, at least its not cheated and full of preservatives, artificial flavors and colorings which are probably even less healthy than fat and carbs.
When you get the chance try it.
