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.

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.

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... Edited September 2, 20205 yr by RollLeft

September 2, 20205 yr 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.
September 2, 20205 yr Guy several years older than me put "Hot Czech" as his nickname on his letterman jacket
September 2, 20205 yr I hit River Oaks Donuts yesterday. Prasek's sausage and not too much dough. Well done.

September 3, 20205 yr Best pig in a blanket in town. 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.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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

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. Edited September 3, 20205 yr by Judge Roybeanbag

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.
September 5, 20205 yr Prasek's opened another Buccee's style store in Sealy as well. Stop there every time I come back to Houston from San Antonio.Quoted to confirm. If Hruska’s isn’t on your route this is the best option west of Houston
October 17, 20214 yr 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.
October 18, 20214 yr From houston: 290 to austin - weikels 10 to 71 to austin - hruskas 10 to SA - praseks

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.

It’s still my favorite. My family thinks I’m crazy.
