They are not as bad if you get them at a wholesale club.
You can freeze them, and they are GREAT in pesto.
I have come to love stuffed grape leaves. I have never made them, but I've seen my SIL make them.
The recipe sounds similar to hers, though I know she adds fresh dill as well.
You would not believe the gadget she has to make these things.
you can see it on this website:

from the comments section (on 'chowhound'), regarding how to get one:
"Belal on May 28th, 2008
I kept looking for that machine on the net and I gave up , then I called a Mediterranean Arabic Syrian store and they have it , I just bought one today its great the name of the store is Al Nouri in Paterson , New Jersey , their phone number is 1-973 -279 2388 and I am sure they will ship it, the cost was $30 ."
