Vine Leaves?

Im cooking for a lady on Saturday night. I want to make stuffed Vine Leaves from scratch but so far I cant find anywhere that sells the leaves on their own. Can anyone point me towards somewhere that sells them?

Vine Leaves?
Most supermarkets sell them, but try the nearest Asian or Middle Eastern shop. I usually buy them vacuum packed, they look flat in the shop but there are loads in each pack
Reply:You can buy them fresh from your local Asian grocery store. They will be with the fresh vegetables, green in colour and wrapped in clingfilm.
Reply:If you go to an Asian / Chinese shop you will find them in a flat pack with brine / vingegar. They have a long shelf life and are delicious if you follow the instructions on how to rinse off the brine.
Reply:You may get them in tins from a specialist grocer
Reply:You may be able to adjust the recipe if you are unable to get vine leaves by using blanched inner cabbage leaves
Reply:They have them in my local shop-tinned. If not,try spinach leaves!
Reply:instedt of vineleaves , try spinach, its nice too and has loots of vitamin d in it, but you can ask in a greek shop they might have vineleaves. good luck with it.
Reply:try holland and barett (health food shops they might have them) good luck
Reply:Other than going to your local vine yard you'll have to used the stuffed ones!
Reply:The leaves you are looking for are grape leaves. You can get them in the canned food departments. They are packed in glass.
