The Mediterranean grocery on Pleasant Street sells cans of stuffed grape leaves.

They have two sizes: six ounces or so (roughly a dozen rolls) for $3.99, and TWO KILOGRAMS (4.4 pounds!!!) for $10.99.

Dang, four pounds is a lot of grape leaves. Such a feast, though. Such a feast.

Hrm. What do you do with grape leaves? (I know, eat them, but with what?)

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

WITH A FORK!

AH HA HA HA HA HA AHA AHAHSHDHA!!!!@!

They're grape leaves stuffed with rice and marinated so you can actually chew the leaves. They're very tasty. You can wrap them in pita and smear them with hummus and all kinds of things if you want, but mostly I just stick 'em with a fork and eat them like little ricey sausages.

Mmm... I may have to get some. Plus, the big can is like a quarter of the unit price! ;)

Do they have meat in them?

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

Nope! Grape leaves, rice, a little mint, and that's pretty much it. Yum.

Hm... I have time to go to Worcester and back this afternoon.

Are they good? I'd rather not end up with 2kg of BAD stuffed grape leaves. Yuck.

You could throw them at rowdy neighborhood children.

Maybe pick up some of the little cans first, to see which you like? I liked the Onassis brand best of the three, so that's the brand of the large size I bought.

They aren't going to be as good as the grape leaves you get at, say Sahara, but they're better than the ones at the Middle East (which were entirely bland) and certainly tasty and filling.

Which market, Ed Hyter's or Bahnans? (Though they both probably carry it.)
