Happy Perogy Day! It’s National Perogy Day, and the big question is: who makes the best and what kinds of things have you had in your perogies?
Corey Werschler:
Sauerkraut perogies are the best.
Janine Fleury-Urbanovich:
I’ve tried cottage cheese, Saskatoon, and sauerkraut—fried, baked, deep-fried… all of it 😂 except buckwheat! Wasn’t a fan 🤷🏻♀️
Abby Bohun:
Having them cooked in heavy cream and onions is the best. Sauerkraut for the win!
Cindy Olinyk:
I’ve made them with peach jam—yum! Boiled is the best.
Kim Gawazuk:
Potato, cheese, and onion! Cottage cheese, sauerkraut, potato and dill, Saskatoon—these are all my family’s favourites, boiled or fried.
My mom made sauerkraut and sardine ones just for my dad at Christmas (not a fan). Dessert ones filled with chocolate are great too!
Lori Wood:
Cottage cheese with potato perogies, plum perogies, and blueberry perogies—yum! Smothered in oil and lots of onions is the way to go.
Bobbie Wright:
Boiled.
Deena Luckins:
Saskatoon perogies!!
Gayle Arnie Hogg:
Apple.
Sharon Vryenhoek:
My mom used to make peroshki (not sure if I’m spelling it right)—baked perogies served with a dill cream sauce 😊
Joni Menzies:
Blueberry, cranberry, potato and dill, potato and cottage cheese, 3-cheese potato, potato and bacon, sauerkraut with or without bacon, spiced sausage and potato with bacon.
I prefer mine boiled, tossed in butter and onions, served on a buttered dish, and topped with shredded cheese, green onions, and sometimes bacon.
Joan Gurr:
Fried are the best perogies ever.
Brenda Bonchuk:
I like potato and bacon, fried with bacon and onion, and topped with sour cream… ummm 😋
John DeBeer:
There isn’t a bad pierogi, lol. Fried is best—I really enjoy sauerkraut ones.
Who makes the best? CHURCH LADIES of course. Look for the phone number of your nearest Ukrainian Catholic or Ukrainian Orthodox Church and ask if they have a ladies church group. They’ll take care of you!
