I had them at a small hospital potluck.  I worked there and on
holiday meals when we had to work, we'd each bring a dish.  One of
the fellow Nurse's aides brought them in a crockpot.  Rice combined
with mild sausage meat in what I think was tomato juice then
wrapped in soft steamed cabbage leaves.
 
They were very good.  Klumpkies or something like that?  I think she
said a family recipe from Poland?  It's a memore from 1981 or so.

 
I'm sure they're fairly common in many parts of eastern Europe.  On
Mom's recipe card she wrote "Hungarian Cabbage Rolls".  In the tiny
village in Ohio where she grew up there were a number of families who
had emigrated from Hungary.

Yes, that general 'area' all seem to have variations on it.  From the
long ago 1980 memory, Jean's had a fair amount of black pepper in it.
I don't recall more than looking them up and deciding they looked a bit
pesky to wrap.

If it didn't predate spicy V8's showing in at heast that area, she
might have used it as the 'sauce'.  (I wasn't able to find when the
spicy version came out but the low sodium Spicy V8 seems to be about
2010).

I might try making a small pot with my 'baby crockpot'.  It's more
fondeu sized.  Just something 'different' to try out in the kitchen!
