Kielbasa (, ; from Polish '''' ) is any type of meat sausage from Poland and a staple of Polish cuisine. In American English, it is typically a coarse, U-shaped smoked sausage of any kind of meat, which closely resembles the Wiejska sausage'' (typically pork only).
==Etymology and usage== The word entered English directly from the Polish ' and Czech ', meaning "sausage". Both these forms can be derived from a Proto-Slavic *kъlbasa, which is also the source of Russian колбаса, Ukrainian , Croatian '''', etc. It's exact origin is unclear, perhaps borrowed from either Turkic ' or via Jewish butchers, from Hebrew '.
