Not sure how I feel about HEB stacking up baked goods and donuts in the open.

I just ate a cream cheese danish from Praseks. Their sausage/jap/cheese kolaches are ALMOST as authentic as buccees

When donut shops start selling klobasneks, I will start buying klobasneks.

Until then, any normal person will continue calling them what the stores call them.

Or that you don't understand this isn't some podunk backwoods central Texas town with Polka music competing with cattle prices for air time on the radio. We don't have to pretend we care about the history of a dish from 3 centuries and 6 thousand miles ago to pretend we're special.

It's a kolache and has been for the last 5 decades. We eat it because it's almost as good as the boudin and newer culinary adaptions that have surpassed it, but aren't as widely available. Not because of your cultural longing for a "homeland" you've never seen and probably can't point out on a map. It's Shipley's and Donut Stop and any hole in the wall bakery goods. Hell, you act like your defending the honor of Trdelnik in the streets of Prague (that's a major city in Czechoslovakia).

OP, I'm not sure what the BFD is.

Do you ever eat out at restaurants? Just as much nasty crap involved in restaurant food.

He went to a family gathering where they eat the 'authentic' kolaches and pretend that they are more delicious than they really actually are.

Klobasnek Dong is my favorite Texags character.

What a glorious dork.

I have a Czech great grandmother who, every Christmas Eve, would make the family homemade Kolaches. I would look forward to it every year, it was one of my favorite Christmas traditions. When I attended Texas A&M University, I was excited to hear that places around town sold Kolaches! I imagined it would be a home-away-from-home while I was at college. However, to my surprise, I found that these weren't like the Kolaches my 'prababicka' made me, these were pigs in a blanket!
Bohunk kolache pride is right up there with the little Mexican ladies at taco-rias trying to slightly correct my pronunciations of their food dishes. I guess when you're at the bottom of the cultural and intellectual pyramid and have very little to be proud of, you cling desperately to anything that allows you to feel slightly smarter than the people paying the bills.

Donut Fairy and Kolache Dork. GD this board blows.

10 years ago the food discussion would be about the buffet at TMC.

They deleted my post pondering where the kolache dong went as well. I was merely encouraging him to return to defend his precious pastry's honor

I can see where the OP is whining, but its easier just not to eat it. This is America....mostly...maybe...maybe not depending on which HEB you went to. We still have health standards, which is what sets us apart in our superiority to any other nation in the world. OP, I'd suggest you get there earlier. Let the booger eaters have the late donuts fingered by their snotty nosed children reminiscent of the motherland for the last 10 hours.

We used to have lunches catered at work and they would bring in trays of open sandwiches on a big tray. Only way I'll eat that is if I'm first or second in line. Otherwise....you get to SEE how many people **** with food before putting it back. No thanks.

Ironically, the 99 ranch bakery has everything covered in little glass cabinets and a line with tongs and trays.

99 ranch is pretty China-ish.

Those red bean filled (and others) pastries are legit.

What about the folks that clip their nails next to you at work?

Is that like Mexican bakery style? If so, that's my preferred method. Get a little tray with the tongs and open the display cases to pull out the one you want with tongues instead of running your *******ed filthy primate paws over every single last crumb.

Disgusting old people do the same thing to produce, but I usually attain peace of mind by washing produce. Not so with baked goods.

Pic below is kind of when they were running out. If you go in the morning, stuff is stacked to the top. Out in the open. Looks very "China-ish"


Is that the Fairfield one???? Looks like it. I've had the same thought, but I guess it isn't much different than the donut case right by it.

each time I pass those open air pastries at HEB I debate whether to be disgusted OR steal one and eat it on the spot (depending on how hungry I am when I'm shopping)

Otherwise, I have never given them a second thought once I leave the area.

Kolache trolls are my favorite on Texags. It's like fishing with dynamite.

Also, Texas does tend to perfect things:

Tex-Mex >>>>>>>>> Authentic Mexican

and

Texas Kolaches >>>>>>> Soviet bloc pastries

I shopped at an HEB once...and ate a pastry once. Really makes you think.

While we're on the subject of kolaches, does anyone know if the Koloache Shoppe on Richomond was ever at a different location? Website says they've been on Richmond for 44 years, but I don't remember them being in that Weslayn center. Could just be because I was never over that way for breakfast.

I appreciate how the kolache factory has paid the upmost respect to fat grandmas from the old countryby maintaining the authenticity of their recipes. This can be seen in their menu offerings such as their jalapeo popper, ranchero, & Philly cheesesteak kolaches.

not sure about 44 years, but they've been there at least 10 or so. they did a remodel a few years back so maybe that's when they popped up on your radar.
