Kaszanka is a traditional blood sausage in the east and central European cuisine. It is made of a mixture of pig's blood, pork offal (commonly liver), and buckwheat (kasza) or barley stuffed in a pig intestine. It is usually flavored with onion, black pepper, and marjoram.

The dish probably comes from Germany or Denmark, but the latter is unlikely because of a significant difference in ingredients: the Danish version consists of blood, pork, raisins, sugar, groats and flour.[1]

Kaszanka may be eaten cold, but traditionally it is either grilled or fried with some onions and then served with potato and sauerkraut.
