Shinke is probably what we call shenkin (ham)- feh! and Kilbassi is a kind of spicy sausage eaten in eastern europe- I don't know what pridovie is but it sounds like it might also be the same sort of thing. I used to hear the song on The Billie Cotton Band Show in Britain in the late 50's early 60's. We never ate kishka in our house, but did eat helzel which was the same sort of thing- only not a piece of intestine- but the skin of a chicken's neck stuffed with flour and spices- sewn up with cotton and baked. The cotton got stuck in your teeth- I am now a vegetarian. Jack The Lad
