This one sausage is so tightly regulated that only butchers in a specific cluster of villages west of Kraków are legally allowed to call their sausage by this name.
Coarse-cut, smoked over beech and studded with garlic and pepper, this thick, slightly curved pork sausage is a fixture of Kraków's market stalls and roadside grills, usually sliced thick and eaten with rye bread and mustard.
Why it's made this way: It grew out of the pork-butchering tradition of Liszki and Czernichów, villages just outside Kraków that supplied the city with meat for generations, and in 2010 it won EU Protected Geographical Indication status.
