If you don't have a particular aversion to cooking, I'd suggest making them
yourself. They're very simple to make, requiring no special equipment, and they
freeze very well.
Home made will always taste much better than anything you can buy even at the
smallest shop.
One afternoon a month is enough to keep you in perogy heaven for life.

I bake alot of desserts, if I could get my wife to eat perogies, I would
certainly give them a shot from scratch. On that thought - any good
recipes??

I can recommend the Ukrainian place (sorry cant think of the name) at the
forks, I believe it was between $3.50-$4.50 a dozen.
Also I found Sobeys to make fairly decent perogies.

Have not had them for years, but they are a good perogy. I shipped a
couple dozen of them express to an ex-Winniper now Torontarian a
number of years ago. Now that is delivery.
1 /3 cup oil..... 1 egg plus warm water to make one cup..... aprox 2 cups
flour. make a soft dough. make perogies and enjoy.
filling...
anything...
but usually...
boil potatoes...
mash the hell out of them.
add cottage cheese or cheez whiz or well anything... (salsa is interesting)

Cooked onions are also great in the filling, adds a little zip.
As well as bacon and cheese and onion.
Anyways, Ann's Perogy Palace closed down about 5 years ago, it was on
the corner of Dufferin and the Slaw Rebchuck (Salter) Bridge. I worked
over at RB Russell when it was around (no wonder why I'm so friggin'
fat). There is also Alycia's on McGregor and Cathedral in the North End
of Winnipeg. That is still open but isn't as good as it once was (they
had celebrities from all over visit that place and it's still a small
place that serves among the better fares of Ukrainian delicasies. There
is also Karen's out in Garden City but I remember the old 59'er out on
Hwy 59 about 10 years ago used to have the best perogies in Manitoba,
unfortunately they rebuilt and no longer serve Ukrainian food
anylonger.
Where do you get that loony information from? They didn't rebuild, they
expanded. They still do home-made perogies, and meals with cabbage rolls
and kubasa as well.
Curt Kielbasa? Wasn't he the voice of The Jets? LOL!
If you want to get technical, kielbasa is polish sausage.
Kovbasa is ukrainian, usually pronounced, in English, "ku-ba-saw". Kubasa
is also a spelling used in English, most predominantly in Mundare, where
they have a statue of the world's largest kubasa. Edmonton even has a band
called the Kubasonics.

My kin were more likely to use kobasa; I don't recall them -ever-
having written kovbasa.
Technical, schmectical, from my experiences most of
the people of the entire northeastern US, and southern
Ontario in Canada usually call it all sausage of that type
"keel-bass-ah" for some peculiar reason...and the generic
term "garlic sausage" for all of it seems to be coming into
more common usage locally, even though the garlic
baloney in a plastic casing crud being sold in stores has
little if anything in common with either commercial Kubasa
or Kielbasa.
Personally, I'll scarf down a truck load of either with
some good rye bread, mustard, and a beer without any
complaints. Now if you have home made with venison,
I'll even buy the bread, mustard and beer for the
feast...
No, but then we don't normally use kielbasa in these parts either. As long
as it tastes good, and is Ukrainian, kubasa, kobasa, it's all good.
Kielbasa is still Polish sausage. If you want polish sausage that is great,
I like it too. But it is not Ukrainian. that is the point.

Well, yeah, some of it is just some kind of sausage admittedly, but some of
the inexpensive ones from smaller packers are surprisingly good.
: Kielbasa is still Polish sausage. If you want polish sausage that is great,

A few months ago I had a discussion about kielbasa or kolbasa with a polish
friend of mine (like, actually lives in poland, not polish-canadian).
He told me that he's never run across anything like the garlic sausages we have
here. He also informed me that kielbasa or kolbasa are both acceptable
transliteration of the cyrillic spelling which is basically a generic term for
sausage.
It should also be noted that the cultural divides in eastern Europe don't
exactly follow the modern nor historic political borders. Saying that kolbasa is
Polish and not Ukrainian is a bit silly, since the culture that brought over the
original pork garlic sausages occupied both southern Poland and western Ukraine,
as well as parts of Romania and the Czech Republic.
