The Shiner-Hallettsville-Victoria area bohemians call them sausage rolls and use real Czech sausage. Pigs in the blanket use little cocktail links.

 

Spot on correct

My wife's family are Victoria area bohemians. Her very Czech grandmother called them Kolatch (no 'e' in the pronunciation). They mainly make poppyseed and sausage and use real sausage. 

But they also call queso 'cheese dip' like Yankees. I have no explanation. My wife calls it queso all the time except when we're at her family gatherings then she starts calling it cheese dip again. Drives me crazy.

Growing up in that area that is common. I don't remember salsa being referred to as salsa until I went to UT.  It was always hot sauce. I don't remember queso either.  Down there a tostada  was a chalupa shell covered in queso. It was never referred to as queso. I don't remember ever having queso as a dip back then either.

Indeed. The awfully designed sausage logo is unfortunate, but the actual sausage is excellent.

They took a lot of shit for it.  Apparently the owner fought it for a while, allegedly because it was his daughter that did the original design.  They've put some money into it now.  Evolution of logo below

Original turd with black face logo...

 

They had an interim but who cares, heres the new one...

Place called 2 Czech Chicks in Danbury make kolatch just like my grandma did.  I certain it's the same bread recipe.  The pigs are a decent supporting cast, but the star is the kolatch. 

[HenryJames 66038]

They should’ve called it ‘Two Czechs At the Same Time.’

[RollLeft 5040]

Czech us out...

[HenryJames 66038]

Derka could open one called Shoulder Czech.

[utee94 15805]

If they served Tex-Mex too, they could call it 

Czech Out This Fucking Taco

Guy several years older than me put "Hot Czech" as his nickname on his letterman jacket

I hit River Oaks Donuts yesterday. Prasek's sausage and not too much dough. Well done.

No. While a lot of the group lives in Victoria now, most group up in Ganado.

That’s a very low bar, and I’ve yet to get one from there that I thought was decent. But your proclamation is factually correct.

It’s not that difficult, locals didn’t want to speak Spanish.  Hence no queso.

Drove over to try this place this morning because of this thread.  Pretty, pretty good.

Lots of truth there.  That area aspires to be Vidor.

I grew up near El Campo, and we did our grocery shopping there because it was the closest HEB.  My wife’s family still lives there.  Man when they started labeling stuff in Spanish, the locals had a fit.  Which I found humorous, because you’re living in El Campo.

In Lake Charles, it was 'Kway-soe'

Drove me fucking nuts.  Even when the stores would be asking for it.  "You make 6 figures+, and you sound like a maroon..."

 

I celebrate all sausage rolls( no homo,) pigs-in-a-blanket, and klobasnikys.

If you ever ate any baked goods from HEB, most likely my grandma baked.  She worked there over 20 years as a baker.

Quoted to confirm. If Hruska’s isn’t on your route this is the best option west of Houston

[billfromlaketravis 11448]

I stopped by Chappell Hill Bakery earlier today. 
 

Solid poppy seed kolache. They were out of cream cheese. Suboptimal, but it was after 5 pm. 

Good klobasnikys. The underside was a little gooey. 
 

I think it belongs on the top 10 lists. Not Hruska’s good, but in the neighborhood.

Actual linguistic explanation from a Czech speaker (I’m non-native”).

A “kolatch” (koláč) is singular. Just one. Kolache (koláče) with the e added is plural. Kolaches with an “s” is gringofied and basically a double plural. 
 

Also, Czechs in Bohemia or Moravians in Moravia are basically clueless as to making one with a sausage inside it, I’ve lived in the region 3.5 years and have never see one although I hear sometimes people make them at Christmas time. Prune, cottage cheese, poppyseed are most common, sometimes apricot or berries. Asking the Czech about it, they say that a sausage ones sounds good. So might as well call it a klobasnik, it was invented by Czech in Texas anyway and are good AF.

Gwadaloop is singular for the drag and Gwadaloopee is plural for drag rats.

I grew up eating mainly prune kolache baked by Czech women in western Fort Bend County. It’s still my favorite. My family thinks I’m crazy.

Cream cheese kolaches over here. Hruska’s are my favorite.

Weikels has a location in Brenham of course, and in Carmine just a little bit further down 290.  Praseks home location just outside El Campo in Hillje on 59.

I’ll ride with my decision to go to Chappell Hill over Weikel’s while passing through Brenham.
 

Original Kountry Bakery in Schulenberg is a good option on 10 on the way to San Antonio. RIP Frank’s.
