Anybody ever prepare these the Hungarinan way -- interspersing each layer of cabbage rolls in the roasting pan with a thin layer of uncooked sauerkraut before baking? Zings the dish up a tad!

Not in this country, never, however interesting it sounds. :-)

Just read a book on Polish cuisine history - suerkraut goł±bki used to appear on Polish tables 200 years ago.

In Romania and Bulgaria the local versions of goł±bki are made with sour cabbage (not shredded, the leaves are pickled whole). The smell in summer markets where they sell them outside is not one you'll soon forget (no matter how hard you try).

I assume that's to make the cabbage more like grape leaves which have a tangy taste. AFter all, goł±bki are basically a local adaptation of stuffed grape leaves.

Goł±bki I've had in Hungary are almost exactly like Polish except the sauce (and stuffing) is spiced up with paprika and they pour sour cream over them. Ymmmmmm!!!

I buy stuffed cabbage rolls at a Hungarian deli, in Littlerock, CA. No kapusta inside though. They're more like a mini-version of Polish goł±bki.

A sincere thanks PF, for putting up with me FIVE terrific years, muah!

that's odd. The cabbage rolls I've had in Hungary were definitely larger than those in Poland.
