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?“Kolaches” ooh those sound sweeeet!

We get Kolaches at every donut shop down here. Boudin Kolaches is one of my favorites

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.
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.

Texas is right next door. Might have to make a trip just to taste it LOL!
Dr_Pain the Czech Stop and Slovacek are two that we normally stop at when passing through/near the DFW area. There are quite a few in the area and a ran into a few in small towns. Our jaunts usually are a big loop down through TX, MO, KS, OK, AR and LA venturing off on different roads to explore different areas. This is a big country with lots to see and experience.

Both are fantastic and if in the area of Temple, TX Green’s sausage house is in the same league, all of them making wonderful food.

Do you come as far as Lafayette???
Dr_Pain I have been as far as New Orleans, but it has been awhile. I have family in Shreveport and sometimes make it as far as Alexandria, just depends on timing and follow-on destination.

My oldest is in med school in Shreveport but we don’t make it there very often. If you happen to come to the heart of Acadiana I will make sure to open the schedule for an extended visit. All depending on the sale of the house I may even have a place for you to call home for a bit

Dr_Pain Would love to meet up, thank you.

This post brought back some childhood memories. My dad made a sausage very similar to this but called it head sausage. My mom would fry it for breakfast and we would eat with syrup. I have not had it in many years and never had a recipe. I am going to have to try this soon!! Thanks for posting the recipe.
