kielbasa survey

[thos]

Hi. I need opinions on the best commercially available kielbasa in CT. Must be made in Ct and able to be shipped (i.e., come vacuumed sealed). So far my favorite is Martin Rosol's Easter kielbasa, but despite what the company spokesperson tells me, I have been unable to find it locally (Manchester). How Is Janik (Enfield)? Does Nodine make such an item?

thanks all

I like Nodine's Andouile sausage and smoked kielbasa.

There are 2 excellent kielbasa makers in Meriden. My favorite is Noack's on East Main, but also very good is Filipeks on Elm St, which is just 1 block west of Rt 5 Broad St

Adolph's Meat Market on New Britain Ave in Hartford makes really good kielbasa also.

not sure if they ship, but I feel any discussion of kielbasa in Ct would be incomplete without mentioning Wozniak's in New Haven.

I like Janik's and recently (11/09) purchased it at the Super A&P on the Berlin Tpke in Webster Square- they make a damn good sausage. Rosols Easter Keilbassy is excellent as is Mucke's. Hummel's and Grote and Weigel aren't bad either. Do you have any info on Nodine? I am not familiar with them.

Even though I'm a Connecticut resident, I have to say that my favorite is Blue Seal out of Chicopee, MA. If that doesn't work for you, Martin Rosol and Grote and Weigel both produce a good product.

ditto...the Blue Seal is the gold standard.

Ayep. Their patties are great even. I like 'em on a roll with some provolone or swiss and a little mustard.

Martin Rosols is good. I also like Blue Seal kilbasa. It is made in Chicopee Ma. and you can find it at Big Y stores. It comes vacuum sealed.

I have bought Nodines locally and it's good.
