Polish Sausage (Kielbasa)

IN THE UNITED STATES, POLISH SAUSAGE, OR KIELBASA, IS OFTEN SOLD AS smoked sausage. Where hot dogs are only partially smoked and then steamed, Polish sausages are cooked by smoking alone, which gives them a distinctive flavor and rich red hue; they need only to be reheated before eating. This variety gets its distinctive flavor from marjoram and garlic.
