Рецепт Polish Boy Sandwich #SundaySupper
If you've never heard of the Polish Boy Sandwich, you probably aren't from Cleveland. This beloved regional specialty can be found in diners and restaurants all across the city and is a taste like no other.
This week Sunday Supper is all about Regional Food and is being hosted by Sue of Palatable Pastime. Regional Foods are those foods that you find in your hometown but in no other place around the world. The foods that you've grown up eating and loving. For me, this Polish Boy Sandwich is Cleveland. You won't find this delicacy in any other part of the country!
It starts with grilled kielbasa nestled in a toasted bun and then topped with BBQ sauce, golden french fries and coleslaw. It's a very messy sandwich, but it's very much worth the mess!
Growing up in NE Ohio, I ate many foods with Eastern European influence. Foods like pierogi, packzi, and kielbasa. Most holiday meals here have either pierogi, kielbasa, or both on the menu. Kielbasa is a go-to meal in these parts, because paired with some kraut, it makes a hearty meal! You will find many vendors in the historic Westside Market selling their version of the best kielbasa. You don't have to go very far to find this tasty sausage in Cleveland.
Kielbasa takes center-stage in this sandwich. I have to admit, although I always knew what a Polish Boy was, I had never actually tried one before I made this sandwich. Boy was I missing out! The combination sounds odd, but put together, it somehow works out beautifully!
There doesn't seem to be very many rules when making this sandwich. Use your favorite bun (I used a hot dog bun) and your favorite Kielbasa sausage (I used turkey kielbasa) top it with your favorite BBQ sauce, some fries (I used frozen oven baked for convenience) and finish it with slaw. That's it! Make sure you keep a stack of napkins handy though...you will need them!

NOTE: You don't need to use all the fries in the sandwich. Put a few on the sausages and serve the rest along side the sandwich for a complete meal.
