I grew up eating these saucy, sweet, tangy Pittsburgh ham barbecue sandwiches loaded with paper-thin sliced chipped chopped ham sold at deli counters in Pittsburgh. Islay's is the original and still the best chopped ham if you can find it.

Texas Sausage Kolaches (Klobasneks)
This kolache recipe is one I cobbled together to make what I think is the perfect sausage kolache. I grew up in Central Texas, where sausage kolaches (also called klobasneks) were plentiful. Every donut shop and bakery had them. Then I moved to Seattle, where nobody had heard of them!
