Despite what most American grocery stores would lead us to believe, there is apparently more than one kind of kielbasa. We've sampled several kinds from the aptly named "Polish Delicatessen" a few minutes away from us, and I have to say that they're all pretty good. Since we can never remember which is which however, a need has developed to make a list.
Swojska
Banik's favourite thus far. It's well balanced and spiced, smokey, and has a good snap.
Mielon
A lighter kielbasa, not very smokey but with a good snap and texture.
Domestic
Similar to the Mielon, but with garlic and more salt.
Weselna
Banik's second favourite thus far. It's a smokey kielbasa with a large grain and moderate density.
Lesna
This is a hard, double-smoked kielbasa with a peppery flavour. It's not good for eating on a bun, but it's great to just eat alone or with cheese and such.
Which is my favourite? I think they're all good in different ways.

And there are even more!
We got some yesterday and one of them was new- it was very good as well, but I don't recall the exact name. It had a w in the second syllable, however....
