Minnesota Prairie Roots 
Texas and Minnesota share the common history of Czech (and Norwegian) settlements. Even today, one can find a Czech pastry in the quick stop gas stations (similar to “pigs in a blanket”). For the life of me I can not recall the name. I usually get one with sausages and chees in them. I am told these treats are almost only found in Minnesota and Texas. If I were there, I certainly would take an opportunity to go see this movie. Ya’ll enjoy!
You’re thinking of kolacky, Gunny.
Yup, but that is not how they spell it down here. Kolacie is how some spell it but that seems to vary.
Interesting on the varied spellings.
