I've never been to Texas in my life, but I did live in Czechia for 9 years and my wife is Czech.

A Czech koláč is always sweet, with no exceptions. I Googled the foods you and the previous comment mention, and I've never seen anything like them. The Czechs do sometimes bake bread rolls with a sausage inside, though – they are very big on sausages – and they're sold cold in supermarkets and bakeries as a savoury snack. I think they're called variants on "bread roll with sausage", though, and I don't think I've ever heard them called "klobasnek" or "klobasnik".

Saying that, now we live in the British Isles, my wife has developed a fondness for sausage rolls. Including Gregg's ones when we visit the UK. :-)

Texas Czech and actual Czech have about 150 years of divergent evolution.

It's very much a Texas thing.

"For decades, Czech Stop has been known far and wide for its world-famous Texas kolaches"[0]

You clearly missed the "Texas kolaches" in your searching. Using "Texas" as a qualifier does big things. Texas BBQ or Texas chili is not the same thing as BBQ or chili from other places. Texas kolaches are not the same thing as Czech koláč, nor never claimed to be. At best, inspired by from Czech babis passing down and tweaking recipes since the 1800s

> You clearly missed the "Texas kolaches"

Why would you even think that, let alone say it?

I didn't miss it. I wasn't talking about Texan food. I clearly said, and you quoted that I've never been to Texas in my life.

I was talking about the original stuff from the old country, that inspired this. Nothing else. I thought it might be a bit of fun, something of interest.

I should have realised that someone misunderstand and insult me. I mean, it's HN. :-(

Not sure where the supposed insult is. If one was read, there was none intended.

Since you're not familiar with Texas folklore, using the word Texas as a qualifier is part of being Texas. "Everything is bigger in Texas" is a common phrase. In golf, there's "Texas rules". In Texas BBQ, it's understood that if there's a fire in the box, there's a beer in the hand.

I wouldn't know. Like I said: never been there. Not American, never lived in America. (Current location: Douglas, Isle of Man, 4370 miles away.) I specifically said that I was talking of the original Czech foods, and you responded "you clearly missed..."

No, I didn't miss. I didn't look. I wasn't talking about that so there is no reason I'd look. I didn't want results about local derived foods as I was specifically talking about the originals, so your "correction" is wrong and your assertion that I missed them is just plain rude.
