I am a great one for using the original name of a sausage. The Bacon Sausage 'For all bacon lovers here is another clasical Polish sausage'
http://www.meatsandsausages.com/sausage ... on-sausage What is its polish name? Knowing this then creates a pronounacion problem!

Hi Mark,
Hey, I'm a Swiss dude, but I think the name you are looking for is
Krakowska Sucha.
It contains bacon. There is another Krakauer sausage called Krakowska Krajana, but it contains ham (front picnic) and jowls, instead of bacon.
I could be wrong... heck pal, I was wrong once before... but that was once when I
thought I was wrong!
Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Right Mr. C.W.
I still think we have 663 registered users, therefore # 666 is coming later.
Like I said,

maybe the devil himself.

Hi Mark,
The Polish word for bacon is boczek, therefore, bacon sausage is
Kiełbasa Boczkowa.
There is a recipe on the Polish WD site here:
http://wedlinydomowe.pl/index.php?optio ... 1&Itemid=4
The above recipe and the one you provided the link to call for pork belly (or side pork) as an ingredient, rather than cured and and smoked bacon.

The Polish recipe is by Maxell and I will translate it next week when I get back. Busy packing today and heading up north island to chase some Coho salmon tomorrow.

Thanks Chris
Wow I love salmon. I want to give salmon fishing a go. Salmon fishing is a big thing here. There are two major salmon fishing rivers within an hours drive of here. A lot of people fish near the mouth of the rivers. The run starts from mid december here. I do not know anyone who fishes.
I only have a surf caster (14 foot long) and have never done any fly fishing. I surf cast with limited sucess. Last summer I caught a few elephant fish (
http://www.fishingmag.co.nz/surfcasting ... h-head.htm) and a couple of rigg (
http://www.fishingmag.co.nz/surfcasting ... -steve.htm). These fish use to be abundant and were often sold in fish and chip shops. Because of that some people use to snear at them. They are beautiful tasting fish and it now seams an insult to batter and deep fry them.
In terms of wild game. I know a couple of people who deer and pig hunt. They are fit and 'nutt's' in a nice sense. They have dogs that hold the pigs. They then cut the pigs throats. Often where they hunt is a zillion miles away from a road and they carry out the pigs over mountains. There dogs and themselfes have had some nasty gourings. One of these guys said to me if I catch him a salmon and smoke it he will give me a butchered wild pig!
Anyway back to the topic. Thank you for putting me right on bacon (being pork belly rather than cured and smoked bacon). It would be great if you could translate the recipe that you have provided the link to.
Thank you
Mark

Hi Mark,
A bit intrigued by this topic! No doubt the Poles have an arsenal of different sausage types for almost every taste. The Kielbasa Bockowa however being one of those that´s not likely to be found in every butchers shop. At least I haven´t come across it in Poland as yet, though it sounds quite yummy.
The two recipes seem quite alike, Maxell being slightly more elaborate, and a bit more specific in raw material.
Noticing the rather high concent of beef and pork to be finely grinded (75%) to an addition of only 25% bacon dices, I can´t help thinking that this is a way to counter balance the usually high fat content of traditional polish bacon.
Now, assuming that your local bacon is somewhat (read: A LOT) more meager than the average polish, I would strongly consider raising the bacon dice content from 25% to perhaps even 50%. It will give you a more beautiful slice, especially if you dry cure the bacon for 24 to 48 hours to extract the best possible color.
For me 75% of binding between the big hunks is simply way toooo much. But taste is a personal matter ...for you to decide

Let me qualify what I do with bacon. I use Canadian/Irish bacon because it is lean and already has a smoke flavour. The pork I always use is BUTT which already has more than enough fat. I would like to reach 76!
The paprika is a Spanish smoked variety. I like smoke.
Fat back, belly and side pork do not cut it with me. I already had a stroke 12 years ago.
I just noticed that the initial entry for this post, has an almost identical recipe.
See? I skim everything and do not dwell at one thing. Who knows how long I will be around and I want to cram in as much as I can.

Cut down on fat!!!

Richard, I don't want be picky, but for the safety of others who are not advanced in sausage making, you have twice the required amount of cure 1 in your recipe. The amount for 156ppm is 2.5 grams for 1kg. of meat, (and you can even go a tad lower as they do in Europe). One teaspoon of cure 1 is somewhere between 5 and 6 grams. For your 2.5 lbs, you need 2.8g. or 1/2 tsp. to achieve 156pp.
