    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 :)

      Weird thing is that for big stuffed vegetables like Tomatoes, zucchinis, capsicums - Greeks say Gemista, which straight out means stuffed in Greek. Whereas Turks call the big stuffed vegetables Dolma, meaning stuffed in Turkish. But Turkish call the stuffed vine leaves Sarma. 🤷‍♂️

      @@cgtm1l3n13m Because "sar" literally means "roll", that's what he does right? And that "ma" in the end kinda name-ifies the verb, makes it a noun. I think in the end it makes more sense because sarma is the short form of "yaprak sarması" which can be translated as "leaf rolls" because they are technically rolled not stuffed. By the way you'd be surprised how commonly the yaprak sarması is being misspelled as dolma in daily life.

I personally feel a food can only be traditional to one country. Otherwise, it'd just be considered food at that point without an exact origin. Part of eating food is the culture and origin oft the food and enjoying it. *shrug*

    This actually looks way lighter than Egyptian recipes,but closer to my family recipe, I like the idea of adding mint and spring onions and incorporate their taste in the rice first.
    I will definitely try it.
    By the way you should've recommended eating the bed leaves, they have very vine-leaves-intense taste also absorb much of the olive oil and lemon, making them very rich.
