Wed Jan 07 09:16:17 -0800 2009 196530 ribboy 1 4305645 There's a Ukrainain place in St. Lawrence Market: Ukrainian Store Dnister 416-368-8427 I know they sell lots of things, I don't know if they will have what you want, but I am sure they would be able to suggest a place if they can't help. Wed Jan 07 16:29:23 -0800 2009 4303938 155466 canadianbeaver 1 4305848 Try looking up ukranian delis and butchers.. there are quite a few around. Wed Jan 07 17:42:44 -0800 2009 4303938 224081 BamiaWruz 2 4305944 Future Bakery on North Queen, Etobicoke has what you need.

I recommend walking along that strip to find what you need. Wed Jan 07 19:55:45 -0800 2009 4305944 29331 pancake 4 4306726 thanks for the tips i will do my best to check them all out Thu Jan 08 05:53:06 -0800 2009 4306207 196530 ribboy 5 4308490 Yesterday was Christmas day but all the Ukrainian deli's will be selling Christmas food until January 19th. You just missed all the church bazaars with tons of baked goods. My favourite place is La Rose Deli on La Rose Avenue just north of Eglington & Royal York Road. Thu Jan 08 13:32:20 -0800 2009 4306726 194774 Smachnoho 6 4308799 La Rose Bakery is an Italian Bakery. I haven't seen any Ukrainian food there. (By the way, the new coffee place Za Za or something like that has great coffee!) Thu Jan 08 14:51:33 -0800 2009 4308490 114869 Marniee 7 4308904 I said La Rose Deli which is owned by Ukrainians and is near the Pizza Pizza store in the same plaza as La Rose Bakery which is Italian. La Rose Deli has the best pyrohy in town: a brand called Grandma's. Right now they have a lot of home made baked goods for the Christmas-Epiphany (Jordan) Season until January 19th. Thu Jan 08 15:21:35 -0800 2009 4308799 194774 Smachnoho 6 4568669 Anyone know when and where the Easter Bazaars are being held in the GTA this month? I had an amazing food experience at the Ukrainian Catholic church at Royal York and Eglinton in November. Best borscht EVER. Sun Apr 05 05:03:32 -0700 2009 4308490 14906 Food Tourist 7 4569370 There are about 22 Ukrainian churches in Toronto and the bazaars are all over. I think the one at the Ukrainian Museum of Canada (Eastern Branch) at 620 Spadina is the best. Very nice small Paska for your Easter Basket as well as the regular size. They sold out so quickly. In addition to churches some Ukrainian Organizations have sales as well. I went to the one at Ukrainian Social Services right when it opened yesterday at 10 a.m. (2445 Bloor St. West at Jane). They had Paska, Bobka and the usual baked goods and some food. Also went to another bazaar today after church. Orthodox Easter is April 19th this year. But next Sunday is Palm Sunday already so I think all the church bazaars are over. I would phone Ukrainian Social Services and ask them about buying Easter food. As a last resort go to Future Bakery at their headquarters in the west end the week of April 13th and buy the commercial variety. Sun Apr 05 12:12:52 -0700 2009 4568669 194774 Smachnoho 8 4570226 I was wrong. It is still Easter bazaar Season in the Ukrainian community: VESNIVKA CHOIR EASTER BAZAAR Sunday, April 12, 2009, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church 4 Bellwoods Avenue at Queen St. Toronto, ON Freshly baked Paska, Tortes & various Baked Goods plus & Pyrohy, Canaps, Borscht, Coffee & Tea �Pysanky, Ukrainian arts & crafts Just take the stairs down to the basement. But go early for the best selection. ------------------------ Also there is a class in English on Monday @ 7 p.m. to make traditional Ukrianian Easter breads like Paska & Bobka at St. Vladimir Institute, 620 Spadina. You have to phone to sign up. Sun Apr 05 19:00:36 -0700 2009 4569370 194774 Smachnoho 8 4572813 Not all church bazaar food is created equal. Yesterday, I had very mediocre borscht, substandard perogies, blah sausage, and tasteless sweet baked goods at the Orthodox church on Lakeshore west of Kipling. The food at St. Demetrius Byzantine Catholic church on La Rose Avenue, on the other hand, is high quality, chowish, memorable, and worth marking your calendars for next November. Mon Apr 06 15:32:52 -0700 2009 4569370 14906 Food Tourist 9 4573136 Well, I guess all the more reason to sign up for the culinary classes at St. Vladimir Institute on Spadina Avenue and learn to make your own. Both St. Demetrius Ukrainian Orthodox Church on Lakeshore and St. Demetrius Ukrainian Catholic Church on La Rose have Ukrainian cooking that is more like Canadian Prairie Ukrainian than other churches in Toronto, which have a later wave of Ukrainian immigration after WW2. Personally, I don't like the food at St. Demetrius on La Rose. The dough of their pyrohy tastes like rubber to me. Their borshcht lacks a good solid vegetable base taste. Their cabbage rolls lack seasoning. I don't think anyone will be disappointed by the baked goods at St. Nicholas via the Vesnivka Choir next Sunday. Mon Apr 06 17:06:22 -0700 2009 4572813 194774 Smachnoho 10 4575926 There is another Ukrainian Church Bazaar this weekend at St. Mary's, 3265 Cawthra Road, Mississauga. Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. both days. The poster says: Varenyky (pyrohy), Paska (Easter Bread), Baked Goods, Cabbage Rolls, Crafts and Much More. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Myroslava_e-poshta-canadaus/message/980#al5 Tue Apr 07 13:03:37 -0700 2009 4573136 217400 LidaK 4 4308944 I'll second Pancake's recommendation - Bloor West Village has several excellent Ukrainian bakeries and delis. Thu Jan 08 15:31:32 -0800 2009 4306207 255113 trishna 1 4308639 There's a popular Ukranian bakery in the same plaza as Marconi Pizza in Mississauga (many say the best pizza in Sauga, not me..) It's on Cawthra, right beside the Ukranian church where many other Ukranian stores are as well Good luck Thu Jan 08 14:12:36 -0800 2009 4303938 115105 duckdown 2 4310513 i was directed to starsky's (european grocery store in mississauga) by a co-worker....i am pretty sure this place thas he largest meat dept in canada..wow...if you are keen on european food stuff ..this place is a must visit... Fri Jan 09 07:50:27 -0800 2009 4308639 196530 ribboy 3 4310822 I passed by that place, it is huge!! Need to go in one day. Fri Jan 09 09:08:39 -0800 2009 4310513 224081 BamiaWruz 4 4311875 The old store has a nice-sized bakery. (Haven't gotten to the new one yet, but I'm sure it has one at least as good.) Not sure what makes a "Ukrainian" baked good as opposed to any other Eastern European baked good, but I get my Polish donut fix there regularly so to me it's all good.
