The Kransky is a type of meat sausage, the Oceanic incarnation of an authentic North Slovenian dish - the kranjska klobasa. The name stems from the Slovene name for the Austro-Hungarian province of Carniola, a province that encompassed most of nowaday's Slovenia.

It was introduced to Oceania by the many post-war immigrants from Slovenia who arrived in Australia and New Zealand in the 1940's and 1950's. The Kransky is very popular in Australia and New Zealand. The Waiters Club in Melbourne, Australia is renowned worldwide for its wide range of Kransky dishes.

There have been many variations of the Kransky over the years. One variation — the Cheese Kransky—is not considered to be an authentic member of the kransky family as it was created by Australian gourmet continental butchers, but it is still very popular in Oceania.

Serving suggestions: it can be eaten on its own, but it is also great grilled, simmered, barbequed or pan-fried.
