Ukranian Perogy Supper Night in Vancouver
Posted by buzz in charity, community, events, family, food
Ever since I was a little kid I’ve loved perogies. I didnt really know what they were, but I liked them because of a little skit from Sesame Street where they toured a perogy factory and sang a goofy little song.
“Pe-e-e-e-ro-gies, pe-e-e-e-e-ro-gies, pe-e-e-e-ro-gies, pe-e-e-e-ro-gieeeeees!”
Fast forward to my adult life and I’m engaged to a Ukranian girl who loves her some perogies, cabbage rolls and borscht. A few weeks back I heard about Perogy Suppers they have every week across Metro Vancouver and hit up the web to find the schedule.
Each week, a different Ukranian Orthodox Church serves up down home cooking for a Friday night. The most famous is the First Friday Perogy Supper in Vancouver at 154 E. 10th [google map]. The line up starts early and the food is gone quickly. Some 8 000 perogies in 3 hours.
Here’s part of the menu:
#1. BORSCH (served with rye bread) - $3.00
#2. REGULAR DINNER - $11.00
* 6 Pyrohy
* 2 Cabbage Rolls
* Sauerkraut or Salad
* Ukrainian Sausage
* Coffee#3. VEGETARIAN DINNER - $11.00
* 6 Pyrohy
* 3 Cabbage Rolls
* Sauerkraut or Salad
* Coffee#4. SUPER DINNER - $14.00
* 10 Pyrohy
* 4 Cabbage Rolls

I’ve eaten there before. I used to get together with friends on a montly basis and hit the church for some yummy treats.
The place was always packed!
Dude, shhhhhhh! The lineups are already long enough!!
(Hey, I’m Polish and protective of my perogies. Can you blame me?)
Those dinners bring me back to childhood suppers cooked by Nana…
But let’s not let the secret out too much here…
LOVE this! Ukranian girl myself
Might have to try this.
**UPDATE**
Jen got to the Church at 5:15. Lined up around the block. She made it into the Church by 6. Another ONE HOUR wait to get a table.
Craziness. Absolute crazinesss.

I LOVED the perogy skit from Sesame Street. I have that song stuck in my head and I was searching for a clip of that skit when I stumbled on this site.
