Ain't you been paying attention Vito? Them are Kolaches for the LOWER classes that live in the REST of America! Texans' Kolaches are different.... and better! If it don't MOO or Squeal, and you can't BBQ it or GRILL it.... they won't EAT it. :lol2:

My wife makes them. We have a local bakery that also makes them. My wife gets biscuit dough and rolls it. Then she takes sausage links and rolls them up, and throws them in the oven. Ohhhh they are so good!
When I looked on Wikipedia about 'kolaches', I knew something wasn't right when it said that they are filled with, 'cream, jelly, etc'.
We've always called them 'pigs in a blanket'. You can either eat them dry, or with pancake syrup.
I guess that's another prime example that Texas has so many different terms for different things. :lol:

See....now back home in Montana, "Pigs in a blanket" refered to regular pork sausage links, rolled in biscuit dough and baked or fried!


"Scone" has always been the term for what Wikipedia calls a "kolache"! I knew this lady back in MT who made the absolute best scones! Everything was made from scratch....even the fillings!!

I bet right now she is serving up scones and cakes to God and the Angels! She knew how to bake I tell you what!!

In Wisconsin, "Pigs in a Blanket" is a pork sausage or hot dog wrapped in bread and baked.

That's the way my wife makes pigs in a blanket, with 'breakfast' sausage links. I've never had them fried.


I guess that's a different type of scone than what I've seen. Sysco sells scones. The motels buy them. They are triangle shaped, and they come frozen, and then you bake them. They come in blueberry, and banana nut, and whatever else, I reckon. I guess, they are more or less, a muffin, just shaped like a triangle. I've had the blueberry and banana nut. Both are really good. When I was delivering, the girls at Homewood Suites used to give a couple.

You're all wrong, Maryland is God's country!! Why, with our pristine beltways full of traffic 24/7 is proof that everyone wants to be here.

and pigs in a blanket around here is just that. When the pig gets cold we bring him in the house and wrap him in a blanket. You people are strange.

That's what scones are to me, too...triangle-shaped muffin-type things. A friend of mine made some with jalapeno. From what I've seen, the kolaches they sell here in Lubbock are really similar to pigs-in-the-blanket. PITB have more of a biscuit type "blanket" and the kolaches have more of a homemade bread-type "blanket".

I always thought scones were all British or something. I bet some jalapeno jelly (or that rasberry-chipotle stuff) and cream cheese would be good on one.:thumbsup:

BTW...it has been raining cats and dogs here lately! How bout all this rain!!!
