STUFFED DISHES
DOLMA.
Stuffed Dishes--Dolma -- that are made either with meat or olive oil are
exclusively Oriental. They are as popular as the Boiled Dishes or the Vegetables
with Meat, and there is no exclusive Oriental occasion, such as a wedding or
other feast, where they do not appear in one way or another.
While the stuffing--Dolma--is comparatively a simple composition, yet it is done
in such various ways, and each different style has so individual a flavor that
no one tires of this method of cooking.
Dolma is a simple, yet a very natural and nutritious food, very easily prepared
and cooked. In Occidental cooking it is perhaps the most curious and striking
novelty offering something both new and useful as well.
Stuffed dishes are somewhat in vogue now in Western countries, but, compared
with the Oriental styles, which may well be taken as original, they are mere
imitations in quality and in taste.
