When I lived in Central Texas for a few years, the sweet kolaches were
*much* more common than savory ones. Prune, apricot, or poppyseed were
the most popular, but there were also cream cheese, apple, and red
(sometimes cherry, sometimes raspberry) -- and probably a few more that
I've forgotten.

I never liked the poppyseed ones all that much. My favorites were
apricot, apple, or sausage.

I may have to bake some this weekend.
