There is a well-known custom to eat stuffed cabbage on Simhath Torah. But many also eat it on Sukkoth. Is it an extension of the same reason? Are the reasons cited for Simhath Torah (in the answers to the linked question) incomplete? Is it just that it's become seasonal - ie., we're eating in a Sukkah, for many it is rather cool and perhaps damp outside, a nice, hot, saucy dish (and/or soup) would go really well, and, hey, we eat these stuffed cabbages quasi-ritually in a couple of days, so let's have some now to warm up, too!

I always thought that we were like the meat and the cabbage was like the schach since we are served them on sukkos! – Avrohom Yitzchok Oct 4 '12 at 16:04

@ArielAllon, Why would it be a duplicate of the question I'm basing it on and asking a further question about? – Seth J Oct 5 '12 at 14:39
@SethJ Somehow I completely misread the first line of your question. I redact my comment. – Ariel Allon Oct 10 '12 at 17:20
