Anyone on the Forum know the Polish name for a soup made from the blood of a duck or goose? I can remember my grandmother(Babusha) making this, she would cut the throat of a duck or goose, drain the blood into a pan and make a soup from it. She would add homemade kluski and prunes to the soup, supposedly this was a delicacy in the area of Poland(Jaslo) that she came from. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

Czernina

This gives you the basic information on the soup. I have also posted a link to one recipe. Your best bet would be to type "Czernina recipe" in google and find the one thats best for you and test a few of them.

By the way, my family comes from Jaslo. You ever been?

Czernina, that's it! Thanks for the link. I have never been to Jaslo, would love to visit Poland someday. Both of my grandparents came from the southeastern area of Poland, grandfather from Jaworze Dolne(1873), grandmother from Jaslo(1884). They both settled in Polish communities in Texas.

My grandfather would bring a duck home from the poultry shop, it was still alive. He would hang the duck, upside down by the legs, and then cut it's neck. The blood was caught in a pot and my grandmother made the Czarnina. The duck itself was roasted. The soup is Czarnina and if I am not mistaken, it also had raisens, prunes and potatoes. We also put homemade Kluski in it. The czarnina I cannot make but I can still make the home made kluski. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My grandmother would hold a life chicken by its legs in one hand and cut its head with an axe. Then she would feed a chained dog. One sunday she made czernina and I was asked to try it, I liked it but I was told that it was made out of duck blood after I had finished. I was too young then to make any sense out of it. I remember asking myself "so what?" "is it a big deal that it is made out of blood?"
Bob,
Have you ever tried prepering a duck this way yourself? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Anyone, I didn't come across it any time I have been in Poland, but can you obtain what we in England call 'black pudding'? It is like sausage but, obviously, black, made from blood and, I understand but don't enquire too closely, pork fat, rusk, wheat and several other items. I buy mine here in a skin enclosed, sausage-like roll about 5 or 6 inches long, and about 1.5 inches diameter although it can be bought in larger diameters and, usually in slices.
You will know of it in Manchester, RayTan, but what about in Poland?

It is called kaszanka and it is obtainable in every meat store but quality certainly varies.
