For Jews of Polish or Hungarian descent, the festivals of Sukkot and Simchat Torah are synonymous with stuffed cabbage. Stuffed with rice (and very often ground beef), the cabbage rolls – said to resemble the Torah scrolls that are finished and begun again on Simchat Torah – are simmered in tomato-based sauce, which skews sweet or savory depending on the family’s origin. When it comes to stuffed vegetables, this is the exception, not the norm. For centuries, most other Jewish communities have prepared and eaten a variety of stuffed vegetables year-round. myjewishlearning.com

Long before there were Jewish delis, mustard apparently was important to Jews – but not just Jews. jta.org
