Bryan, I'm not a fan of Kielbasa in any way, no matter how you spell it or cook it. However, there was a place up on Brownsville Rd. A butcher shop. And I think it was called "Jim-Lyn's" or something similar. The fellow that owned the shop wouldn't give his recipe to anybody either and I think that he only made it for Easter. You couldn't walk in off the street to buy it; you had to place an order and maybe, just maybe, pay for it in advance. I don't know why he called it kielbasa because it didn't take like anything I've had since. Ask your dad if he remembers that butcher shop. Al At 01:14 PM 11/14/2001, you wrote: >Brain, huh?

The absolute best klobase( kielbassa)is Slovenian . . . not red-colored and greasy, but very meaty. There used to be a shop(Ferlan's)on Butler St. in Lawrenceville that made it . . . don't know if their still in business.
