μπόλια caul fat

Explanation:
It's the thin, lacy-looking sheet of fat that lines the abdomen of lambs and other animals. Butchers sometimes wrap it around meat to make it more moist when roasted.

This site includes a picture:
www.greatchefs.com/tv w185 roasted_lamb_loin.htm
Michael Lomanaco shows how to wrap a rack of lamb with stuffing. You can purchase caul fat (figure E), the membrane from the lining of the abdomen of pork, to wrap in. Wash the caul fat, dry it and place it underneath the rack. Add stuffing, wrap the caul fat around it and bake.
Chef Tracy suggests an alternative if you don't want to use caul fat: wrap strips of bacon (figure F) around the stuffed rack.

Ναι, σωστά, οι σεφταλιές φτιάχνονται με μπόλια.
www.cliffordawright.com/recipes/sheftalia.html
This Greek Cypriot crépinette, a sausage without skin, uses caul fat, or omentum, the membrane that surrounds the stomach, to wrap the ingredients rather than sausage casing. Caul fat is transparent, fragile, and naturally fatty, so you will not need to baste when grilling. Ask the butcher in your supermarket for it.

Also called \"caul\" or \"veil fat\".
www.bbc.co.uk/norfolk/features/summer_recipe_bbq.shtml
Wrap the sausages in pigs caul. (This is sometimes called Veil Fat* and is available from any good butcher).

Cook as for any sausage (fry, grill, or bake)

* Veil Fat is a membrane that will not only hold the parcel together, but will baste the meat as it cooks and visually disappears. Treat like cling film.

OED: Suet: The solid fat round the loins and kidneys of certain animals, esp. that of the ox and sheep, which, chopped up, is used in cooking, and, when rendered down, forms tallow. (Occas. applied to the corresponding fat in the human body.)

Caul: The fatty membrane investing the intestines; the epiploön or omentum.

The original meaning of caul was: A kind of close-fitting cap, worn by women: a net for the hair; a netted cap or head-dress, often richly ornamented. Obs. exc. Hist.
Έτσι η μπόλια, σκέπη, πάνα στα ελληνικά αναφέρεται σε κάτι λεπτό, σαν δίκτυ, που στα αγγλικά είναι caul. Omentum is the scientific term. Suet is thick, hard fat. It would be pretty hard to wrap something in suet, unless it were very thinly sliced
