My great Grandfather...Came from Moravia, and met a women along the way. She had a husband, who had pased away...Grandpa had the same situation, going on. They got together and had a third family, from which I am from!
kolache/kolaznik or however it’s spelled... didn’t know the difference until I was in working at a firm in Houston and had “that type of guy” who felt the need to correct everybody on saying kolache when the office would get everybody a big batch of kolaches or donuts and put in the office kitchen. And the dude just really made me angry about it because it’s like dude, everything is a kolache now, the word is Americanized thoroughly. So let me clarify and be clear - I absolutely value the history and why it was historically two words and that is specifically exactly why I search out “history of kolaches” and found your video. So thank you! AND ALSO, to that guy, not to you, but to that guy my coworker and people like that, it’s like no, nobody says kolaznik anymore and very few who know what a kolache is care. So again, thank you for telling the history! And also, thank you for not being “that person” about it and trying to tell everyone what they should say when everyone just calls it a kolache anyways and that is totally well and good and fine
Could have learned a history lesson instead of getting defensive. It's like if Japanese people stuck a salmon filet into dough, fried it, and called it a donut. You'd be pretty annoyed too!
Me and my dad as fellow Czechs in Texas, HATE when people think kolaches are meat filled. We get so annoyed. My band teacher was talking about getting kolaches in a teacher staff room, and I asked him, “Are you using the term ‘Kolache’ as a meat filled bread? Or fruit filled?” He said “Oh you must be Polish.” To which I said, “Czech, thankyou. And a meat filled bread that Americans call ‘Kolaches’ are actually just pig in a blanket.” He went quiet and walked out to get his pig in a blanket. So annoying 😂
ever heard the phrase “i wasn’t born in Texas but I got here as fast as I could!”? Lol you mentioned were not originally from Texas. I had a middle school teacher, who taught me my Texas history class no less, who had found a frameable “Texas specific” “souvenir” sign with the phrase on it and he had it on the wall in our classroom. Good memories!😅
yes I am not of Czech heritage but I am from Rosenberg and there used to be a little small independent Czech bakery shop in the “old side” of Rosenberg when I was little in the 90’s. And it was always a treat to go there. It was run by an old couple who had had it for years and they were of Czech heritage and by the 1990’s they were already a pretty old couple. So I am guessing they must have been the direct sons and daughters of the first wave of Czechs to Texas, or maybe the grandkids if they were a little younger than I am assuming. hahaha because of course, as a little kid in the 1990’s even of those people were not as old as I thought, when you are a little kid they seemed a lot older, relatively speaking.
I'm from Rosenberg too! I thought there was a Kolache bakery on 3rd St. What a small world I grew up on 3rd and Ave K. I live on the West Coast now and there isn't one Kolache to be found, people out don't even know what a Kolache is!
My grandfather's parents fled from slovakia between world war one and world war 2 to america and brought their recipes for co-loch-key!!!!!! It is a better version of the nasty British jammy dodger. My grandfather spoke perfect slovoc so i know the name is basterdized in English.
A great way to tell if someone is from Texas, is if they pronounce it ko-lach-cheese instead of ko-lach. It only has two syllables and y'all sound silly every single time you say it with the CHEESE part tacked on the end.
BRAVO, BRAVO! The people want more! 👏👏

This was amazingly well made! Thank you :)
Thank you for pointing out the savory version is not a true kolache. When someone told me about it was thoroughly confused.
oh dang sausage kolaches have only been around since 1962?! Now that piece of the history did surprise me! Very interesting.

You Nailed It! Kolache's are not Klobasnek! The Klobasnek is native to Texas!
Why is it called colaches. It's koláč or koláče if there are multiple:D
