And yet, the Chinese don't make giant egg rolls and fill them up with rice. I've been told that in Asia, rice is a staple. Which reminds me of the time I got pork fried rice in a food court downtown and nearly broke a tooth biting into a large rusty staple. My aunt's recipes were partly from her Hungarian parents, partly from Jewish tradition, and partly stuff she made up on her own. Oh, and the one time I had dolmades that were truly outstanding, I think the restaurant owners were Saudi. They also made a leg of lamb that was one of the best things I ever ate. Long since gone on to restaurant heaven.
One of my 2 grandmothers, my aunt's mother, died long before I was born. The other followed Christian Science and couldn't cook her way out of a paper bag.
