We eat Mechshe all year, which literally means stuffed in Arabic.
Never go a Shabbos/YT meal without it.
Onion, squash, or eggplant mechshe, or yebrah - which is rolled grape leaves.
I know some people do potato or tomato also, my family never did.
Never cabbage!

I'd love to try that! Recipes please if you have a few mins.

Because we're busy fighting which sucks all the fun out. When people fight, they are not sitting and laughing around

We also say gefilte kraut for Stuffed Cabbage, but cabbage and noodles are called Kraut Pletzlech.

Hungarian/Czekoslovakian grandmother (land switched, not sure what it is today even)

I'm of Polish and Hungarian background but growing up we called it cabbage rolls although I do remember hearing the the term gefilte kraut here and there - not sure from which grandmother. My polish background mother in law introduced me to the name chollopches and that is basically what we call them today. Actually we don't call them anything because I don't make them as my family does not really like them, and we haven't been to my mother in law's on Hashana Raba for years.....

Gefilte Kraut would make lots of sense as it literally is what it is - stuffed cabbage.

And the poster above was correct in that Gefilte Fish at one time meant that the chopped fish mixture would be cooked inside a whole carp instead of poached much like one stuffs poultry.

Halupches or Halishkes - Polish Yiddish. This is a sound remembrance of my Bubbe.

Some people are using the CH as the first words - I am assuming that the pronunciation is like Challah instead of Children and so the use of CH is just to indicate that more guttural sound that non-Jews can't pronounce properly LOL

There are a bunch of delicious Sephardic stuffed vegetable recipes that have tempted me. Much more interesting than a stuffed pepper LOL

There was a really funny thread abt stuffed cabbage names a few years ago. Going to try to find it


I laughed out loud when I saw the title of the this thread. That thread came to my mind, it was hilarious!

Halishkes when I'm talking to my family, cabbage rolls when I'm code-switching.
