Uhhh. Ooops? I moved Kielbasa to Kiełbasa - which is the correct spelling (ł is nothing like 'l' in Polish). However Wikipdia seems to mangle it in the Article title now. --kjd 12:44, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, up until a couple days ago Wikipedia couldn't handle characters outside of Latin-1 in titles. Nevertheless, as an English word borrowed from Polish, it's spelled kielbasa since ł isn't a letter of English, so it should stay at Kielbasa. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 29 June 2005 09:19 (UTC)

Sorry, ladz, but kielbasa is never made of only pork. It is impossible, to make good kielbasa without beef.

Should not this be moved to Kolbasa. Let's see what other guys think, and then move it. --Ghirlandajo 11:41, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

No,Kielbasa isn't named Kolbasa in Poland. --Molobo 11:56, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

But it is in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. --Ghirlandajo 12:03, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
But in America it's called Kielbasa (or sometimes even Kyelbasa), and that's why this article is here and not at Kiełbasa, which would be the Polish name for it. Halibutt 12:07, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
They are probably many versions of the name, remember that wiki is not a dictionary.If you want make a article about Ukrainian cuisine, Belarusian cuisine and Russian cuisine-I am sure all these three diverse nations all have interesting food that would be worthy of contribution in seperate articles on each nations food traditions.-Molobo 12:12, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
OK, let it be kielbasa. --Ghirlandajo 12:13, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
I agree with Molobo here, though in my honest oppinion the Ukrainian kovbasa is not the best thing in the world and the best they have there is called... Krakivska, after the city of Krakow. Halibutt 15:14, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

There are other good Kovbasa varieties, not just Krakiv'ska. But the dispute is rather funny, indeed. --Irpen 19:43, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Oh come on, it's the most serious dispute we've been involved so far... err... sorry for the OT. Halibutt 02:46, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Actually I believe the dispute over Santa Claus was even more serious ;) --Molobo 13:47, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

The historical precedent for this dispute would be the ever-going and never-ending dispute on supperiority of Christmas over Easter, or the other way around. Halibutt

I've got no problem with you mentioning Mundre, but please realise that that region of Canada is heavily Ukrainian, not Polish. I think this article and Kovbasa should be merged, with seperate articles for national varities. My precedent for this it that perogies / pyrohy / varenyky are covered by the same article. But if you want to keep this one strictly Polish, Mundre doesn't belong. Kevlar67 17:08, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure. However, we should also mention the variety of region type of Polish sausages (one common one not mentioned was podwawelska), and a serious mention should be made on the Sausage page since Polish sausages are world renowned, whereas French less so (and yet are mentioned). --24.91.40.69 04:42, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Klobasa /= Kielbasa

Who set Klobasa to redirect here? This needs to be changed.

[edit] advertising

The links to polana.com redirects to an internet shop. The sentence "Kielbasa Starowiejska" known as "Country Style Sausage " is not really true.

[edit] Merge

Kovbasa got deleted, so I tried to merge in the content to here. I hope I didn't ruffle too many feathers. Kevlar67 05:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

oh, here's an article about the Canadian spelling University of Ottawa. Kevlar67 05:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I would merge Kovbasa to Sausage rather than to here. Kovbasa is a specific kind of sausage not of kielbasa. --Irpen 05:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Take it up with the guys that deleted Kovbasa. They are similar recipies though, aren't they? Kevlar67 05:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

The Czech for kielbasa is not klobás, but klobása. I'm Czech, so I ought to know. (Misha) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.102.37.42 (talk) 16:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Proposal (Kolbász into Kielbasa)

Hungarian kolbász seems to be only a regional variant of keilbasa. we don't have separate articles for Slovak or Czech klobása, so why do we need a separate article for the Hungarian variant. Kielbasa is an English word. Kolbász is not. So, I propose that Kolbász be merged into Kielbasa.   — Chris Capoccia T⁄C 07:48, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
