Czech pastry that crossed an ocean and became a Texas gas-station religion.
means A sweet or savory pastry made from soft, pillowy dough with a filling pressed into the center — traditionally fruit, poppy seed, or cheese, though Texas has stretched the definition to include sausage.
from From Czech 'koláč,' meaning 'cake' or 'pastry,' which traces back to the Slavic root 'kolo' meaning 'wheel' or 'circle' — a nod to the pastry's round shape. 'Kolache' is actually an Anglicized take on the Czech plural 'koláče,' so English speakers turned a plural into a singular and never looked back. Czech and Moravian immigrants carried the recipe to Central Texas, where it took root and flourished.
