A good polish boy sausage doesn't need anything on it other than perhaps mustard, onions, peppers, and perhaps a tomato ketchup for those who can't live without the red stuff.<br /><br />I guess that every generation has to try and recreate the next sensation in their own liks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708878168550926995.post-34635392673521645432011-07-25T08:04:15.547-07:002011-07-25T08:04:15.547-07:00The Polish boy is that good. It's one of thos...The Polish boy is that good. It's one of those sandwiches created out of not need but out of absolute necessity. You know what had to happen was the classic chocolate peanut butter battle that brought us the Reese Cup. Some guy, probably a trucker or cop, in a hurry orders a kielbasa sandwich with fries an coleslaw. Think Jackie Gleason in Smokey and the Bandit ordering his "Diablo Sandwich". He sees the Bandit, grabs his food in the Styrofoam container and a high speed pursuit ensues. The Diablo is a mess after his high speed chase, burger here fries there but you know what he is hungry and it still looks good. <br /><br />I think the same might have been the case of the Polish Boy. It's more romantic than the real story I am sure, but I like mine better. The Polish Boy is the perfect food. There is no sum of the equal parts that is better than the other. The Kielbasa is just a beef and pork link, the bun forgettable, the slaw is just slaw, the fries are only fries, and the sauce on top should you dare is the icing on the cake. On their own it's kind of a boring meal. Think about it on a plate deconstructed and then think about the Polish Boy as a whole. It works together because ever bite compliments one another. If you deviate from the standard it just doesn't work.Jason Burchaskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345162459816566451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708878168550926995.post-42444575540739753182011-07-22T12:32:34.764-07:002011-07-22T12:32:34.764-07:00I go by there every day and didn't give it a t...I go by there every day and didn't give it a try - I guess I'm persuaded.Kingtycoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927699380769686351noreply@blogger.com
