It's a very common food in the regions of Osmaniye, Adana, Mersin, Antalya, Karaman, Konya, Gaziantep, Kilis and Antakya, despite those regions being known often for their meat dishes. It's served often for celebratory occasions and always with a cup of Turkish tea as well.
Vine leaves are usually stuffed using rice, onions, currants and pine nuts.
As rolling out the stuffed vine leaves can be difficult, it's often a rite of passage for children or a bonding experience as all the family gets together and stuffs their food together before devouring the delicious food en masse.
