Think barbecue is taken seriously in Texas? Wait until you hear about kolache.

...

Kolache, plural for the Czech word kolach, are one part sweet rolland one part tradition, and have been a Central Texas staple since Czech-speaking immigrants brought them with them in the 19th century.

I have seen the owner plenty of times at copy corner. Nice guy.

Only recommendation I would make is to not put so many jalapeños in the ham and bacon kolaches. I love jalapeños mad still end up picking some out.

actually they were.

I would also add that me, along with the health inspector, is glad that they don't make an unnecessary amount of product when they open and keep it on their shelf for hours upon hours.

That argument is so tired.

Why is it tired? Because you don't agree?

From that same Texas Co-op Power magazine article:

Arguments flare over what is and isn’t a kolach

Starting an argument among Texas kolach aficionados is easy, but what really gets people worked up is when someone calls the sausage-filled pastry sold in Czech bakeries a kolach.

It isn’t a kolach and never has been. The classic Czech recipe is for a pastry with a fruit-filled center, and no one in Prague would recognize the so-called sausage kolach from a milkshake.

It’s a Texas invention called a klobasnek—plural klobasniky—which is Czech for little sausages. The Village Bakery in West takes credit for it, but others would no doubt disagree.

But that’s only the beginning of the controversy. How you fill klobasniky is another story. Is it OK to use a hotdog-style sausage, or should it be smoked sausage? Or even ground sausage? Is it OK to add cheese? If so, what kind of cheese? Talking about this with James Dornak, who bakes kolache at Junior’s Smokehouse in Wharton, seemed to make his head hurt.

Regardless, klobasnek is an amazingly popular product, no matter how it’s made. Besetsny’s Kountry Bakery sells 5,000 a week, sausage, cheese and all, at its Hallettsville location.

Went to the Longmire location at 8am and had to stand in line!! And gasp! The owner was there! Get there early to get what you want!

No one knows what a kolache is here.

Conversation with a couple of folks from Prague

Klobasnek


Have you ever heard of Klobasnek? Ever?? Littledogboy (talk) 19:25, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

No. I've seen similar food in the Czech Republic (I mean varieties of sausage baked in dough), but it wasn't named "Klobasnek". The word sounds non-Czech, apart from traditional "klobásek" or "klobása". I guess it was invented in Texas. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 08:01, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
I have, but not by that name. I had a friend from Texas here in Prague who was shocked that the Czech "koláče" look nothing like this, meanwhile I was totally bemused by the idea that someone would put sausage in a koláč. It is most certainly a Texan thing. Also remember that the Texan permutations of West Slavic languages (which have a relatively rich history by American linguistic standards) would be pretty difficult for Europeans to understand, so "klobasnek" may be/have been a legitimate word in Texan Czech. - filelakeshoe (t / c) 09:01, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
What puzzled me was how to fill in the missing diacritic marks – is it supposed to read klobášnek, or rather klobásnack? But who knows, sometimes the expats (krajánci) preserve traditions long forgotten in the fatherland (otčina). Littledogboy (talk) 19:39, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Oops, not a good time to make fun of kolacze. Littledogboy (talk) 14:33, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
Can't resist posting another valuable find – Dozhinki. That'd be from Texan linguistic department? Littledogboy (talk) 18:10, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Nah that's definitely from East Slavic, azbuka transcription - the only English source which mentions "Dozhinki" says it's a traditional name used in Ukraine. What's weirder is that the town of New Prejg, Minnesota seem to claim to have trademarked it [1] - filelakeshoe (t / c) 01:56, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

It's not that I agree or don't agree, it's that it doesn't matter . If their menu says "meat kolaches" why would I go in and order klobasneks when they're not on the menu.

Let it go.

I don't want to let it go. You let it go.

Your mom will let it go!

Or something

This is another one of those subjects that's getting me and Mrs to agree which means it needs to diafotwh.

I am!
