Mom always cooks perogies and cabbage rolls at Christmas for dinner.

To go along with the turkey and stuffing. Chritmas dinner wouldn't be the same without them. Is this a Western Canada thing or is it served elsewhere too?

Our family gets together early December to make the perogies (Potato, sauerkraut, and Cottage cheese/dill)...YUMMMMMY!!..we make a ton of them and freeze them for Christmas and New Years...Cabbage rolls get made a few days before...thank goodness my mom made me learn how to do them, cause now I get asked by my Hubbys side to make them too!!
Wouldn't be the same without em....

Hard to believe it's only a week away.

this saturday....I was supposed to bring the cabbage rolls but got assigned veggies...????...I should just make em tonight and surprise them tomorrow....I know I would rather have the rolls!!

As a kid my mom would have the roll filling in the bowl and I would pick at it until she gave me my own bowl to eat...I can almost make mine taste like hers...but nothing is like moms.!! My hubbys side of the family make their rolls more the german way..lots more meat in them...I make mine with hamburger/bacon and onions in the rice and she does hers with more of the hamburger and also add mushrooms and green peppers..she uses tomato soup too...I use tomato juice...I prefer the juice!

I'll bet you live in Northern Alberta. That's where the Ukrainians settled,

Vegreville,


Mundare (miss those sausages),

Vilna.


Glendon


In Southern Alberta the initial settlers tended to be more American.

There're lots of pyrogy served in Toronto, holopchy, too.

Lots more wierd shit here:

The Hungarians around here also brought perogies and cabbage rolls,they called them different names too.

I transplanted myself from Regina in 1992. It's great to see some of the people I acted with in Regina Little Theatre when I watch Corner Gas.

I lived in Regina for four years, it was a 24/7 party. But I was much younger then.

We have cabbage rolls every year.

and I live in southern Ontario...That's what's so great about this country, we all take what's good from each other and celebrate it!....I think they do the same in the U.S.A...I guess it's a North American thing!

...and we always had cabbage rolls at our Christmas dinner. My aunt would bring them.

Yum! Yum! Tourtiere and Cabbage rolls.

They're mostly of Polish or Ukranian extraction, so it makes sense. I'd never had them with Christmas dinner before, so am I glad I married into that family!

until she died. Nobody has the time to make them anymore. :-(

Ukrainian descent here, as well.

Or rather, my parents do. Of Ukrainian descent here too.
looove those cabbage rolls!

EVERY Xmas, without fail.

Always has made them. URP. :)

Not perogies, my Mom and Grandma always made cabbage rolls. With sauerkraut (my Grandma and Grandpa were from Hungary). Grandma told me that Grandpa learned to make sauerkraut(well learned to cook!) in WW1.

Just some family history. :)
