Let me know once people in the US stop referring to meat-filled pastry as "koláče".
Kolaches mean different things in different parts of the U.S.
In Chicago, they're often filled with sweet things, and sold by mom-and-pop shops and bakeries.
In Houston, they're mainly for breakfast, with things like eggs, bacon, sausage, brisket, etc. and sold by chains like Shipley's and Kolache Factory: https://kolachefactory.com https://kolachefactory.com
Recently, the Houston version of kolaches has made inroads into Chicago: https://www.howdykolache.com https://www.howdykolache.com
- jhgb 4y agoYeah, and eggs, bacons, sausages, and briskets have no business being in a sweet dish such as koláč (which looks like this: https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kol%C3%A1%C4%8D#/media/Soubor:Kol%C3%A1%C4%8Dky.jpg https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kol%C3%A1%C4%8D#/media/Soubor:...).

- jhgb 4y agoIf pączki are anything like Czech koblihy (to which they bear an uncanny resemblance -- cf. https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobliha#/media/Soubor:Picswiss_BL-57-12.jpg https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobliha#/media/Soubor:Picswiss...), then their dough is must be very different from dough for koláče.
