i would argue a vegetarian yemista is sacrilege. against national values

Gemista is a popular dish in Turkey and Iran (under the name dolma/dolmeh) too. The recipe in both these countries includes ground meat. Idk if it is beef or lamb though. In Iran, beside meat, you may also find raisins in it!
i don't think you're thinking of the same thing man. i think you're thinking of dolmades (the greek version) with is rice and minced beef wrapped in vine leaves

No, they “fill” tomatoes, green peppers and eggplants. The Turks call our vine leaf dolmades sarma or something like this. A Turkish friend of mine told me once that dolma means to fill and sarma (if I remember the word correctly) to wrap.

if you're turkish i don't mean to turkish-splain to you, but i do not think that's entirely right. i think it's commonly considered to be how you refer to the vine leaves
