cabbage roll pwn.

[Colt45]

I'm eating some delicious sarma.

Unlike the Ukrainians, ours (from balkans) are made with sour cabbage, and always have meat.. never just rice. more pwn.

Dude. That does not look appetizing.

Dude. That does not look appetizing.

Concur. It probably tastes good though :awe:

 

[destrekor]

golumpki?

I'll take it minus the cabbage please.

 

[sjwaste]

That looks delicious, no idea what the guy above me is smoking.

I think it does look good. It's not the most artful looking thing, but the ingredients look tasty. Sadly, I've never had one, so I can't vote :^(

stuffing things is persian, iirc

I think it came from the turks, everywhere that was under the ottomans does it, as well as most of the neighbouring countries
Not positive though.

Looks just like my Baba used to make! So delicious! :awe:

Nice timing, I'm making a batch of stuffed cabbage tomorrow. The way I make them the filling has a higher meat to rice ratio and there's kielbasa and sauerkraut in the pot too. I'll do pics.

I don't know the history, but I do know golumpki is Polish but many Slavic nations have their tiny little variations. Not sure how similar each one is at the taste level, but they seem similar in concept - cabbage wrapping some meatball type product that has rice and onions (or maybe just rice, again regional differences apply).

If it is related to Persian dishes, who knows. But I know the type that gets cooked by my parents is Polish (we pronounce is glumpki, wiki listed golumpki as a name, and it has a decidedly Polish spelling that even my Russian keyboard layout cannot create, nor do I know how to pronounce it while reading the Polish name, but I imagine it sounds like glumpki -Gołąbki)

I always eat it sans-cabbage, as I despise that leafy abomination. Actually I despise all leafs.

I know stuffed foods are common in Slavic cuisine, at least from what I have been taught they are. As are open-topped "sandwiches" - no I don't get it either, but alas.

Whether the origin of cabbage rolls is originally from some Slavic culture or from Persian history, unknown. All I can tell is many Slavic cultures have their own variant.

Now that's the way to go! Been too long since I've had any of this stuff. Might be time to fire up the old Polack genes and do some cooking. :hmm:

I want to nom on some kielbasa.
There's one store in Toledo that we get kielbasa from that is heavenly. I've never had kielbasa that compares.

Sauerkraut... ah hell no.

I'm very very picky about my foods. There aren't a lot of polish foods I eat but the ones I do are delicious.

Not sure how many cultures have similar food items, or the same... but in Toledo there's a large Polish population. I'm only an 1/8th.

Mmmmm!!! Delicious
I can't decide .. I'd only cross off the "just rice" and "i don't like" options
golumpki is fantasticly awesome.
sarma is uber delicous.
and dolma is a real treat.

Meat with or without rice on the inside...
