Sausage
They sell logs of processed meat here called "kahlbasa." It's basically sausage. I used to buy the chicken logs because I figured that they would be healthier than the mutton or beef ones, but every time I ate some, I would get sick for a few days afterword. This was before I thought to buy a frying pan (EGGS!), so my thought process preempted any other thoughts aside from: kahlbasa = sausage = meat = better than bread and potatoes. So, I killed tons of these sausages over the past year and a half, ignorant of the sickness they caused.
I stopped buying them for a few months, but went to the bazaar yesterday and bought a log. As I walked away, the vendor yelled to me to, "Don't forget to cook it first."
What?
I walked backwards back to the stall and asked for clarification. The old lady looked at me with a weird look on her face and said, "The kahlbasa. That type is supposed to be fried or boiled first. If you eat it raw, you'll get sick."
It tastes better fried too. Gosh.
My mom's going to hate this story.
