Originally only a sweet dessert from Central Europe, they have become popular in parts of the United States.  (Particularly in towns that have large populations of Czech-Americans.) </div> <bR> <div> Editor's Note:  "There are many such towns in Texas, including my home town of Crosby.  </div> <bR> <div> I chose the name, Poppyseed Kolaché, to honor the memory of my paternal Grandmother, Mary Anna Lastovica, who made what (I think) were the best poppyseed kolaché ever made by anyone anywhere.  </div> <bR> <div> But I might be biased.   </div> <bR> <div> Unlike other kolaché, where fillings are spooned into a hollowed out well in the sweetened bread, the filling of a poppyseed kolach is concealed inside the soft bun. </div> <bR> <div> I liked the idea of naming </div> <div> a group of diverse poems gathered into book form after the plural word for a dessert that looks plain on the outside, but (when bitten into) reveals   something that is sweet, buttery, sticky, some might even say gritty, and mildly narcotic . . .
