| | What are chipolatas? |
 | | In the United States, chipolatas are small Italian sausages made of coarsely ground pork and flavored with thyme, chives, coriander, and cloves, and sometimes red pepper flakes. |
 | | In Britain, the name is often used more broadly to refer to any small sausage, but those in the know consider it to be a small, coarse pork sausage, generally including rice, and stuffed in a natural casing. |
 | | When something is served à la chipolata, it generally consists of a dish of game, poultry, meat, or eggs garnished with braised chestnuts, small glazed onions, glazed carrots, sautéed mushrooms, blanched and fried pieces of bacon, and fried chipolatas, which may all be bound up in a Madeira wine sauce. |
