Kabanos
Kabanos (plural: kabanosy) is a long thin stick of Polish dry sausage made of pork.[1] They are smoky in flavor, and can be soft or very dry in texture depending on freshness. Typically they are quite long, 60 centimetres (24 in) but very thin, with a diameter of around 1 centimetre (0.39 in), and folded in two, giving them a very characteristic appearance. The name comes from "kaban", which means hog (young male pig, fattened with potatoes) in Eastern Poland. Their staging process, and the resulting exceptional taste and aroma are the features which set kabanosy apart from any other sausages.[1]
Kabanos is often seasoned only with pepper. Unlike other meats such as sausage, they are typically eaten alone as an appetizer, and often served with cheese. They are also commonly used as hiking food because they do not spoil as quickly as many other sausages.
