@VolNExile, I’ve been thinking about this and since we all don’t have much of anything else going on, the stuffed cabbage, that you liked from the ALF, could you refresh my old mind about it? I have some thoughts on that.

I have no idea how to describe it, other than to say that it was when my mom was in the first nursing home post-hospital, Memphis Jewish Home and Rehab. It was during Passover, and even the Jewish patients were starting to rebel, and one day they had cabbage rolls. She always tried to get me to eat part of her meals so they wouldn’t bug her (which obviously screwed up their calorie counts), and I tried one, thinking it would be like a soggy spring roll or something. But it was delicious: a savory meat filling, wrapped in cabbage leaves, and some sort of tomato-based sauces on the outside. It was very much the shape and size of egg or spring rolls, but not crispy.

Since I’m not Jewish and had never encountered stuffed cabbage before, I didn’t have any frame of reference to say it was more of this and less of that, as when we usually try something new. I begged for the recipe but never got a reply.

Hubs doesn’t know because his mom was sort of a same-old same-old cook, and she never made cabbage rolls. He guessed that it was lamb instead of ground beef, since it was served at Passover. (Never saw it again, btw.) He’d like a recipe too. His commentary on traditional meals: “Italians are like Jews, especially families, except that they can cook.”

You’re comment that it was a “savory” meat filling, makes me lean to lamb. The interesting part, you requesting a recipe and no comment on the request is my sticking point. It would be interesting to know the hours their kitchen staff work on shifts (bear with me there is a reason I said that) and who their food vendor is. I’m not much on cabbage rolls, but love all the ingredients, just not together.

Right, it definitely did not seem like ground beef.

I’ve never liked the taste of lamb, but this was amazing.

As for food vendor, MJH&R keeps kosher, so that probably narrows down the candidates. In fact, that might explain the one-and-done appearance of the cabbage rolls. There are some killer delis in East Mempho and Germantown.

Okay, I’m on this. I have a feeling it goes back to food vendor. When someone wants one of my recipe, I give them the basics, but not the subtle. That’s why I commented on the hours on shifts. Cabbage Rolls take awhile to prep for a group. (Sorry, I’m bored and when I don’t understand something, I’m tenacious until I do,

I keep checking recipes online, and nothing has really resonated yet. Apparently there are zillions of variations.
