No, you're not alone. Once I asked my grandma why we eat birds 'cause I thought it was a real pigeon wrapped in my cabbage leaf

We have the same food, also: The traditional recipe calls for minced lamb mixed with rice and flavoured with mint, fennel and cinnamon, and wrapped in vine leaves (yarpaq dolması) or cabbage leaves (kələm dolması), but most restaurants offering dolma tend to serve up stuffed tomato, sweet pepper and aubergine. There are also sour sweet cabbage dolma (turş şirin kələm dolması) and fish dolma (balıq dolması).

We call it ' dolma' , Maybe 'sarmi' is from Turkish 'sarma'. This one is 'badimcan, pomidor, biber dolmasi' -eggplant, tomato, pepper dolma



Dolma is my favorite food, especially the one my Mom cooks

But if u do stuffed vine leaves long, it means you can't cook well, it must be like this :

Sarma (Dolma)

Sarma is a dish of grape, cabbage or chard leaves rolled around a filling usually based on minced meat. It is found in the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire from the Middle East to the Balkans and Central Europe.

Sarma means 'a wrapped thing' in Turkish language, from the verb sarmak 'to wrap' or 'to roll. Sarma may also be called yaprak dolması 'filled leaf' or simply dolma 'stuffed thing'. Dolma, which properly refers to stuffed vegetables, is often conflated with sarma.

Rakı & Balık (Raki table & Fish)

In Turkey, raki is the national drink and is traditionally consumed either straight (sek, from the French "sec" meaning neat or dry), with chilled water on the side or partly mixed with chilled water, according to personal preference. Ice cubes are sometimes added. Dilution with water causes raki to turn a milky-white colour, similar to the louche of absinthe. This phenomenon has resulted in the drink being popularly referred to aslan sütü ("lion's milk"). Since aslan ("lion") is a Turkish colloquial metaphor for a strong, courageous man, this gives the term a meaning close to "the milk of the strong."

Raki is commonly consumed alongside mezze, a selection of hot and cold appetisers, as well as at a rakı sofrası ("raki table"), either before a full dinner or instead of it. It is especially popular with seafood, together with fresh arugula, feta and melon. It is an equally popular complement to various red meat dishes like kebabs, where it is often served with a glass of turnip juice.
