Kolaches from Weikel's Bakery - La Grange, Texas We’re guessing most people don’t think of Czech culture when they first think of Texas, but the Lone Star has its very own “Czech belt” in a stretch of Central and East Texas. That’s where Bohemian and Moravian Czechs settled in the 1840, and it’s where they introduced us Texans to the iconic kolache: a round, dimpled pastry made of yeasted dough and dotted with things like preserved fruit, sweetened cheese, or poppy seed filling. Its savory cousin -- the sausage- stuffed klobasnek -- is pretty good too, and you can get both shipped nationally from legendary Czech bakery Weikel’s over in La Grange. How to get it: Order on Weikel’s website 4. Smoked Sausage from Kreuz Market - Lockhart, Texas The Kreuz and Schmidt families know a thing or two about BBQ, as they’ve been hittin’ the pits at this Lockhart legend since 1900 and 1948, respectively. Luckily for you, the legend now FedExes its meats in special insulated boxes packed with dry ice all over the country. You’ll want to pick up some of its intensely smoky sausage links, in the original variety or made “Texas spicy” with jalapeño, garlic, and cheese. Another winner? The smoked prime rib.
