如果你遇到一个捷克德州人，他或她会礼貌地告诉你，用香肠kolache这个词来指代香肠馅儿的kolache是不正确的。当你困惑地皱起脸时，那个人会友好地解释说，这种美味的糕点的正确说法是klobasnek。等等，让我们先回到这里。如果你不熟悉kolache，那么你可能会想知道我在说什么。请允许我解释一下。kolache是一种甜酵母卷，里面塞满了水果、奶油奶酪或罂粟籽。卷或方或圆，中间有一个孔来容纳馅料。用klobasnek，面团完全包裹在馅料上，你唯一能知道里面是什么的方法就是咬第一口。你在德州到处都能找到这些糕点，尽管它们最初是在德州中部的捷克社区引入的，比如韦斯特和考德威尔的小镇。虽然“klobasnek”一词的起源有点模糊，但位于西部市中心的“乡村面包店”(Village Bakery)声称这个词的起源。 What's interesting, however, is that these Czech pastries are more associated with Southeast Texas than with Central Texas. The two pastries are different things, but some people still insist on calling them sausage kolaches. This doesn't bother me, but I can see how it could upset some linguistic purists. No matter what you call them, however, they are good. I like to eat them for breakfast, warm from the oven when the cheese is still melted and the sausage juicy with a snap. Though they are still good a few hours later at room temperature and can easily be reheated, too.
