Food / Do you call it kiszka or kaszanka? [55]

Kaszanka is a more "modern" word, kiszka is still used in Eastern Poland and among older persons. In Silesia it's called krupniok.

I meant my family coming and/or living in Eastern Poland use the word "kiszka", while all the people in Northwest Poland I know use "kaszanka". Both those who lived there before the WW2 and those who were forced to leave their houses by communists. As far as I know "kaszanka" is used more commonly, that's why I assumed it is more "modern". Of course I may be wrong.

Żymłok is made of bread rolls instead of kasza.
