What does kaloche mean to you?

[Doc_Lobster]

I have family in St Louis and apparently they are popular there, because that is the only place I have had them (they were the flattish open top ones) I love the cream cheese ones.

I always wanted to go, but no one ever wanted to go with me. Maybe I can talk H into going this year. Its in the fall right?

Yes, Labor Day weekend. It's kielbasa, giant beers, dancing, polka and more food. It's a nice look into Czech heritage.

It means totally nothing. I have never heard that before

It means West, TX

[broc]

fruit-filled here. And I've always pronounced it like 'kah-LAHSH', similar to how you say galoshes.

[dragonfly08]

They're not common where I'm from, and not part of either my or DHs ethnic background, but I have made them using ham and cheese, from a recipe I found on a blog somewhere. Thought my kids would like them. They didn't. But at least it left me knowing what kolache are (and I pronounce it the same as the OP).

it's a southern/czech thing.

I am in TX and have had both fruit and meat/cheese kolaches. There is a Czech bakery off the highway halfway between Dallas and Austin that has the most amazing kolaches. I wanted to fill my freezer with the pumpkin cream cheese ones.

The bakery in Hillsboro?? I went to college in Waco and that little Czech bakery was always packed on Saturday mornings. I still dream about their kolaches.

another baylor person! unite.
i actually hated the stuff from the czech stop in west though. barf.

[joenali]

[bonquiqui]

Pastry filled with fruit, poppyseeds, or homemade cheese (yummmm).

In other words, delicious.

Savory filling in a sweetish dough. I'm aware traditional kolaches have sweet fillings, though.

[lisdedieu]

Mmmm... kolaches! If you go to SE TX (like, last exit on I-10 before LA), they actually have kolaches filled with boudain. THOSE are my favorite!

[trafficgirl]

I haven't thought about kolaches in forever! My (Czech) grandma used to make them every year for Easter when I was little, then my mom did. But since my mom is now gluten-free she stopped making them

I've always pronounced them "koh-lah-chee". The ones my family made looked like those jam thumbprint cookies, except they were pastry dough and had pie-filling in the middle - with icing drizzled on top!

[heliocentric]

My family says "ko-lach-kee" and for us they are long rolls filled with nuts or poppyseeds & rolled up. We are Slovak.

I've never heard of the other kinds described here.

Most Shipley's donuts and several independent donut shops around Houston have boudin kolaches as well. Not my thing, but DH loves them.
