Not everyone can like every food, but if you ever come to L.A. remind me to get you some good sarma ;) I've heard that there are some brands of grape leaves that are horrible, so maybe you just got one of those (or, maybe you just don't like them at all - anything's possible!) I don't know how you stuffed them, but we put the same filling (basically tomato, rice, meat and other yummies) in bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant or tomato. Any variation of that, including the grapeleaves, are called "dolma". I prefer dolma with plain yogurt, but that might be an acquired taste ;) In the last few years I have also added a new FAVORITE recipe to my repertoire: http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/sweet-onions-stuffed-with-spiced-lamb bon appetit Allison!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574983541792532912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110765009770149951.post-88224290778671193662010-10-14T18:15:14.404-04:002010-10-14T18:15:14.404-04:00Welcome to Daring Cooks!

I am pretty sure that that ladybug would have completely derailed me, too. I, too, am not a huge fan of grape leaves, but tried the challenge anyway. I think I may try it again, but in cabbage leaves. Welcome to the Daring Cooks and just know that each month brings something completely new and completely different, so here's hoping the next one is something you LOVE!!shelley c.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04300272302519975542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110765009770149951.post-75517211712947619732010-10-14T08:27:31.520-04:002010-10-14T08:27:31.520-04:00Hello and welcome to the Daring Cooks' and con...Hello and welcome to the Daring Cooks' and congrats on your first challenge. Sorry to hear that you didn't like them very much but at least you made them well. <br /><br />Yes you are right you cannot like all the challenges, maybe using cabbage leaves instead of vine leaves would really help a lot.
