Thanks for looking, the kind words, and the Likes guys!

I credit all I have learned about life and cooking to my Mom who immigrated to this country from Greece. Everything I have learned about smoking meats I credit to this sight and all the wonderful, unselfish members such as yourselves.

I Love This Place,

John

Thank you John, down the road I'll take you up on that offer! I cook Italian, when it comes to Greek I haven't a clue. Many years back I made a batch of Greek turkey sausage using Rytec's recipe, it was fantastic. Since that time I've upped to a motorized stuffer and don't like chancing the gears on the smaller 22-24mm sheep casings, aside from the fact they are a pain to work with, too many blowouts. Thanks again! RAY

Comfort food at it's finest!
My grandparents came from Germany and my mother would make cabbage rolls. I've never heard them called Halupkis, but they look very similar. I could eat those every day.

@BuckeyeSteve

My spelling is a poor attempt at what our kind Slovak neighbor called them when she taught my mom how to make them when I was growing up in the small steel mill town of Homestead, PA.

A very culturally diverse population of Eastern European, Greek, Italian, Irish, Jewish, Lebanese, Syrian, African American, etc. people. A wonderful integrated community living together and enjoying each others' customs and cultures well before integration became fashionable! It was a fun and educational time growing up there. I really miss those days!

The cabbage rolls are called holubky by Czechs and Slovaks, or sarma by Serbs and Croatians. The sauce is often the main difference in regional variations. In a less popular version called leniwe gołąbki (lazy cabbage rolls) the ingredients are chopped, combined together and baked or fried

Take care,

John

Being Lazy, you can also, Chop the ingredients and simmer them in a Crock Pot, on the Stove or bake in a Dutch Oven. When the cabbage is tender, the dish is done...JJ

Fantastic!!! I grew up eating these on a regular basis. My dad was Polish and my mom Slovak, so this was one of our staples as I grew up. I've done them myself in the past, but rarely find the time anymore. My wife does them the "lazy" way, just the ingredients in a casserole. Yours look fabulous! LIKE!!!
