New Product Review:

Pecan Smoked Sausage Kolaches

Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 4/11/2005

I microwaved two different versions of this product, "Sausage" and "Sausage & Cheddar". I liked them both quite a bit.

Kolache is a funny name for these guys. When my Czeklosovakian Grandma Dahlberg used to make kolaches, they were usually round and usually topped or filled with jam. A better name for these would be “Pigs In Blanket” – as they are pork links wrapped in blankets of dough. But then again, it is interesting to note that when Grandma D. made her Pigs In A Blanket, it was a pork meatloaf wrapped in cabbage leaves.

I can imagine my sweet old gray-haired grandma saying, "Kolache... my ass!" But a rose by any other name smells just as sweet. This is a fun and tasty product. I certainly wouldn’t recommend them as breakfast on their own. But I could definitely see having them as a side dish with eggs. I enjoyed one as an afternoon snack.

Of the two varieties, I liked "Sausage & Cheddar" best... which is strange, because you can’t taste the cheese. But what is cheese really? Whatever it is here, it had a relaxing effect on the sausage. Mind you, the sausage is top notch and you really get a snoot full of that smoky flavor. It's just a better smoky flavor when it’s offset by the near-invisible essence of cheddar cheese.

For what it’s worth, here’s the other notes I took while sampling the "Kolaches":

"Smells Good"

"Basically White Bread"
