I would LOVE to make that recipe but unfortunately I would be the only one eating it. At the very mention of snout my whole family would run from the house. Thank for sharing and if I ever travel the Midwest I will be sure to see if they serve it in some mom and pop restaurant (that’s the only way I will be able to eat it)
I have never seen it served in any restaurants, and finding it commercially takes some effort as well. A few small processers still make it but unfortunately it is one of those products with dwindling consumer demand.

processhead yeah my reaction was never ever. But I have always been taught to never say never.
Unfortunately, a lot of our attitudes towards all foods are based on preconceived notions and not actual experience.
processhead yes sir that is right.

processhead Of course it is clear across the state of Iowa for you! Might have to make a fall road trip to look at the beautiful scenery of the NE Iowa in the fall!
It might be totally worth it to make a road trip to Protivin, IA to visit Polashek’s. Maybe there is a good bakery where you can get kolaches?
processhead i would love to get ahold of some good, old time Kolaches again. It has been too long!

Poppy seed is my personal favorite filling, apricot a close second.

processhead Oh Boy, I was thinking of Apricot, but I sure do like some of the berries too.

calldoctoday processhead cdavis Which kolaches are we talking about, Polish or Czech? I grew up with the Polish variety and never knew there was another until I ended up in TX and seen the Czech version. More like a meal in your hand then a pastry. Both are good, but a world of difference.

The Czech variety seen around here are not too large. Very pastry like.

YooperDog The ones we got in Texas I thought were probably Czech. They were only about 6" in diameter & definitely a pastry with fruit, poppyseed, & maybe a creme type filling in some. My favorite was always the fruit. I keep thinking though that we have tried some, somewhere that were more like what you described as a meal in the hand. Definitely a handful with meats & cheeses as I recall. I cannot recall where we tried those.

calldoctoday the ones I am familiar with are more like a cookie version topped or filled with fruit filling or poppyseed. The Czech version that I have run into have been a softer dough filled with just about anything from fruit, meats, veggies… Sort of like Cornish pasties but smaller and a lighter dough. They are all good, just a surprise when I walked in the bakery.

YooperDog Hmm, that is interesting. Well, the favorites were kind of big cookie shaped & at first I thought that was what you meant, but they were softer than a cookie, but not doughie. Maybe 4-5" in diameter (not 6" like I thought earlier) with about 1 - 1 1/2" or so of the center filled with the fruit, etc. The others with the meat, etc. were larger, huge, & softer, probably closer to the 6". The favorites were more pastry dough like, but not cookie dough. All I know is, we sure do miss them, but I am still getting fatter than a show dog without them so not sure what life would be like with them still. I know we would be visiting the Kolache shop much more than the doughnut shop. I think Margaret would die & go to heaven if some showed up on our doorstep.

That is definitely not the definition associated with Kolaches in South Louisiana

Dr_Pain Polish kolachea are a like a a shortbread cookie and the Czech style is more pastry doughy like and filled with a range of filling. Both are good in their own right, just totally different. I imagine others nationalities have their own versions.

YooperDog You probably got them in the city of West , TX…best koloches ever !!! We get them at the “Czech Stop” in West every time we travel from Fort Worth to Austin !!!
Mcjagger Sounds about right. There are two places in that area. I have have found similar down in other parts of TX though too.

Well blow me down! I should have thought about it when my experience was savory and everyone was talking about a sweet product. I will have to research them. What we get locally is more like a pig in a blanket “fancy style”

Dr_Pain that would be the Czech style that I became familiar with in Texas.
