What is a “Kolache”?

A kolache (the “e” is silent, when speaking of only one) is a Czechoslovakian wedding pastry, much like a "Danish" with a filling in the center. The traditional Czech fillings are usually apricot, poppy seed, peach, prune, cream cheese and cottage cheese. Kolaches are thought of as a breakfast food by most but Czechs know that kolaches are meant to be eaten anytime!
What is a “Klobasnikie”?
“Klobasnikie means “pig is a blanket.” The “pig in a blanket” is actually an American food. Yep, the first pig in a blanket was made with, of course, sausage wrapped in a pancake. Later, people started using biscuit dough, bread dough, crescent roll dough and doughnut dough. Then the Czechs, of course, used kolache dough,
BUT that does not make it a kolache. It’s still a pig in a blanket. It’s just made with kolache dough. There is no such thing as a “meat” kolache. Authentic Czech kolaches are a sweet pastry. Now, you’ve been re-educated so now you can help to re-educate the general public.
