Comments on the clue

1.	Rather misses the point of a cryptic clue – the wordplay needs to lead to dolmades, not to its ingredients.
2.	Very unconventional clue
3.	This is a very bizarre clue – using cryptic hints to build upon the definition rather than construct the word; I don't think it works
4.	Too indirect

Comments on the competition
1.
16, 47, 48 and 54 all made reference to cabbage. To my mind, dolmades are stuffed vine (grape) leaves. Stuffed cabbage leaves are lahanodolmades.
