I would think a better reaction would be happiness at learning of the similarities we share across cultures and nations. I worked in Greece and tutored teenage Syrian refugees there, and when they learned about a Greek dish that was similar to one from their homeland, they got excited that they could make a connection. They didn't get angry that it was called a Greek dish in one place and Syrian in another. We should strive to be more like them. Also, lovely recipe :)

@@erdemozcan5435 It is a Greek food you didn't even have a cuisine before you conquered Greek Anatolia you were nomads. We have a cuisine of 3,000 years already. You even think baklava is turkish but it was Greek before and before that Assyrian. Anyway I will be civilized and say that many things are a mystery. Turks and Greeks lived in the same towns in different neighborhoods. Not hard for neighboring mamas to exchange recipes of how they feed their men and children.

I make dolmadakia only around greek easter time, when the new leaves appear on the vine branches. I pick them, boil them to get the first green from them and then i prepare them. If, i use vine leaves from the super market, do i have to do something more before cooking them?

Hi, how do you manage them after they've turned dark in color and wilted? Would they still be ok to roll or you'd be using them chopped in your recipes like spinach?
