What is "cabanossi"

Cabanossi , also spelled kabanosy, is a type of dry Polish sausage, similar to a mild salami. It is generally made from beef and pork, with recognisable pieces of bacon, lightly seasoned and then smoked. It traditionally comes in the form of a long, thin sausage, about long, and in diameter. Variations include chicken & duck cabanossi. Versions made of chicken and turkey are a staple in kosher meat markets and delicatessens.

It is commonly cut into bite sized chunks and eaten cold as an appetiser or snack, often with cubes of cheese and crackers. Small sized cabanossi, called mini-cabanossi are also available. Sliced cabanossi is also a popular pizza topping.
