In West, Texas (not west Texas), there is a Czech bakery called the Czech Stop. The area was settled by Czech pioneers and remains mostly Czech. It's between Hillsboro and Waco on I-35. And the kolaches are just amazing. Not the traditional kolaches, but with filling of various kinds, including jalapeno and bacon, fruit, and cream cheese.

Kolaches are a sort of sweet roll. In Central Texas, where there are a lot of Czechs, they tend to put fruit filling, cream cheese filling or meat and jalapeno peppers in them.

Skolebrod comes closest to a Kolache, I suppose.

I grew up in Eastern Iowa with lots of Swedes and Norskies. The guy across the street was named Soren Lund; I think he was Swedish.

There was a tendency in the late 1800s to early 1900s, to bring all the rail lines into one "Union Station", where you could connect to any railroad serving the city. Those tended to be highly ornate and extravagantly decorated. Very different from the small town stations.

When I was in HS, and working on track gangs, the semaphores were still in use. I think they still are, although I could be mistaken.

When there was a church supper or other large get-together, it was referred to as a "smorgasbrod." Which I think was Norwegian or Swedish for what we call a "buffet."

Yes. It is Swedish and and a sort of Scandinavian buffet.
We are you know a bread eating folks. Smorgasbord simply means:
Bread on a table.
And many ingredients may be on the table.
But based on good bread tho. ??

We don't eat much white bread in Scandinavia. Like they do in South Europe or in the US. With the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. ??
Nothing wrong with that tho
Lived in Florida for a year and got family there too.
Bread here is full corn and different types of that..
And of course fish and seafood as you probably know.
GMO is not allowed here like in the US.
If you are a food interested..
