It must have been the Poles what done it. No self-respecting Ukrainian calls them perogies…they’re pedaha.
This is what becomes of being denied the right to protect your property. Expect a lot more of these penny-ante crimes in the future.
Wonder if the rcmp have a Yusef on staff? He might be able to solve this one.
Try looking around Redberry Lake….
With the frigid minus 30 temperatures in the region, police
have relegated the crime to their cold case files.
Or if it is stolen from an Italian club it would be a penne-ante crime:)
“Try looking around Redberry Lake….” Ha, that is a good one. Obviously you know that area. There are lots of places to hide a load of pedaha in that Redberry, Hafford, Petrofka, Blaine Lake quadrant, and lots of people that would chow down on them. Maybe add some kielbasa. But if they are cottage cheese count me out. Potato and cheese, now that is a different thing.
Perhaps in Saskatchewan.
In Korea, they are Ukrainian mandu. 🙂
“Cold case files”. HA!
I see Stanley was found not guilty in the 2nd degree murder charge in the death of Boushie.
If I’m Stanley I request going into the witness protection program. Maybe the jurors as well.
I just heard that. I am a little surprised they didn’t vote for manslaughter. But I wasn’t in court to hear it all as the jury heard it.
Yep. When I was newly married to my half Ukrainian wife,(Ukrainian Father), we would spend a Saturday together at our home making pedahar and pedascar too. We’d make up to 400 pedahar and 1000 pedascar in one weekend. Alas, it got too tiring. Especially tiring on the thumbs.
And we had figured a trick to seal the pedahar too. We would lay a sheet of 2mm poly on the dining table and the rounds for the pedahar would sweat such that it was easy to press and seal the edges. Worked lurvely.
But then we found that even though we could fill our pedahar with anything we wanted; potatoes, tatoes&cheddar, jam-of-anykind, you know how Ukes do it, there were better ways actually spend our time.
Higher value cabbage rolls and borscht, which are Ukrainian foods, were more worth the time than pedahar and *pedascar.
I haven’t eaten cabbage rolls for over a year, but I have literally made and eaten gallons of borscht. This is true.
Borscht is a high value, high calorie, food that freezes good and microwaves fast and good. We eat it with sour cream.
If anyone wants my recipe I will freely tell it.(it involves a lot of Beef and Beets and has strange things like Brewer’s Yeast) The secret of a Great Borscht is finding the balance between very sour things and just a few sweet things.
*pedascar is a kind of sausage roll. Not really, the pastry is smaller and more bread-like, but the best I can relate it to in Anglo cultural terms. The filling is mostly meat, but can, like the pedahar, be jam or other vegetable filling. We only made meat pedascar.(I’m a meat guy and wife ain’t into sweats) We have a pastry gun we would fill with the meat filling and pipe it about an inch into the leading edge of the pastry/bread sheet of the pedascar and then we would roll it up(the whole rolled food item would be only 1 single inch, Yeah really small, and when it was baked we would have a series of tubes less than 2 inches and the pedescar would be cut off in very short 2inch lengths. They were like little tiny loafs of bread with a meat(generally) filling.
Oz you’ve whet my appetite.
Give us the recipe.
Thanks
I know what you mean about being hard on the hands. The few times I helped my grandmother make pedaha my wrists and forearms hurt so much I couldn’t pick up a pencil. My grandmother had an iron grip, strongest hands of anyone I’ve ever known.
She used to make pedaha with potatoes, potatoes and cheese, and as a treat for the kids she’d fill some with raisins, almost like a mincemeat. As good as her pedaha was, her cabbage rolls were amazing. She also made kapusta a baked sauerkraut with bacon, mushroom and garlic. This dish is probably more Polish than Ukrainian. She also made a mean studenanz which was pork that had been slow braised and then set in a clear gelatin.
I agree with you about borscht with big dollops of sour cream; it was one of my favourite dishes at Easter and Christmas. Of course for dessert we’d have khrustyky (elephant ears) which was fried pastry dough liberally coated with icing sugar.
One thing for sure we know the missing Perogies were not stolen by Illegal Immigrants. The Prime Minister of Canada would never let the RCMP search for the Culprits.
Looks like the church that catered a Ukie wedding I attended back in ’69.
First time this Easterner tried Canora white lightening.
The food was great I think
Probably the same person who stole the keeshka.
Tell me they weren’t covered with bacon and onions.
Oh no. I hope they find the perps.
Who Stole the Kishka?
Lol!

Well at least this time none has stolen RCMP’s Teepee: https://globalnews.ca/news/2791753/teepee-canvas-stolen-from-alberta-rcmp/
