Proof that vegetables are just edible wrapping paper for rice.
means A dish of grape leaves (or other vegetables like peppers and tomatoes) stuffed with a filling of rice, herbs, and often meat.
from From Turkish 'dolma,' meaning 'something stuffed,' from the verb 'dolmak,' 'to be filled.' It's a sibling word to 'dolmuş' (a shared taxi, literally 'filled up')—the same logic of stuffing applies whether you're talking about a grape leaf or a minibus.
