Now that we know just how many sausage fans there are out there, I’ve collated a few facts about a classic sausage, the Kransky.
It is said to have originated in a small Slovenuian town known as Kranj. From there its popularity spread to Australia with the post war immigrants from the Balkans in the 1940s and 50s.
According to The 'Great Work out' website the average Kransky contains 35 grams of fat per 100 grams and 1560 Kilojoules. But no carbohydrates so its perfect for you if you’re on the Atkins diet.
And amazingly there is a whole Kransky website. Though I suppose by now I shouldn’t be surprised at such things. http://www.kransky.com/
“Kransky. A sausage of unknown origin, contents and purpose. An enigma wrapped in a riddle of mystery meat. A sausage that stands out alone in the shimmering morning sunrise. A giant amongst men.”
How bizarre.
There’s not a lot on this website though there is a documentary on the Kransky that is errr…interesting. And it does include a mention of hats of meat and that at least puts it in my good books. Perhaps the owners will one day make millions by selling the name to a Kransky manufacturing giant.
The sausage is so popular that there is an Australian comedy act named after it. The Kransky sisters have performed internationally in venues including the Sydney Opera House. http://www.kranskysisters.com/
Common Usages:
Fried and eaten alone
Grilled and eaten on a roll
Boiled in broth or soup
Chopped up in pasta
Sliced on pizza
Wrapped in pastry
With vegetables like mashed potatoes
Deep fried with cheese (Recipe: http://www.annie-online.com/food.php )
