  I saw this in Bon Appetit yesterday and decided to keep it. I'll bet a
  dollar to a doughnut that the recipe originally called for Linguica,
  but was changed to kielbasa for the masses. If you can't find smoked
  Linguica or Kielbasa, Andouille would also be a good substitute. I
  hope to try this when it gets cooler (like October -- grin)! Hope it
  appeals to you, too.
