Kiełbasa – a little history

Kiełbasa, the polish word for sausage was perhaps brought to Poland by ancient Roman traders traveling the Amber Routes to Poland as early as 500 B.C.  The Romans loved pork and made a variety of sausages.

When Poland converted to Christianity circa 966 A.D. the bonds between the two countries strengthened and the Holy Roman Emperor Otto III visited the King of Poland King Boleslaw I 1000 A.D.

A feast for 3 days followed and culinary ideas and recipes were exchanged, sausages being part of that sharing.  The rest, is as they say, History!
