Polony

A soft-textured English large smoked sausage typically made of pork and beef. Polony is usually sold encased in a vividly hued skin of either orange or red. Polony sausage is similar to bologna so its name suggests that “polony” might have been brought from “Bologna,” the Italian city known for this style of sausage. Typically sliced and served cold.

The Practical Guide to Making Salami

The Practical Guide to Making Salami is a companion book to The Art of Making Fermented Sausages, published in 2008. Since then, more information has become available; safety standards have been updated and tightened, new cultures have appeared, and getting supplies and newer equipment online has become more accessible. The most relevant theory has been transferred from The Art of Making Fermented Sausages. Still, The Practical Guide to Making Salami includes plenty of new materials such as fermented spreadable sausages, acidified sausages, or combining acidulants with natural fermentation. The recipes section has been expanded and includes 264 selected recipes from different countries so the reader can immediately produce sausages.
