I've seen whole pickled cabbages with in my neighborhood grocery
(which caters to Bulgarians and other Balkan ethnic groups), and I've
seen a Bulgarian woman make stuffed cabbage with whole outer leaves of
cabbage she had salt-pickled (i.e., made into sauerkraut) herself. I
surmise from this, that pickling is one way of softening the cabbage
leaves for stuffing.
