Spanish term or phrase: redaño
one of the ingredients mentioned in a meat recipe. Funny thing, they don't mention how it is used in the recipe at all. DRAE gives it as mesenterio. Is that even edible? If so, what do we call it in English?

EuroDic gives \"omentum\" - further info: The great, or gastrocolic, omentum forms, in most mammals, a great sac, which is attached to the stomach and transverse colon, is loaded with fat, and covers more or less of the intestines; the caul. The lesser, or gastrohepatic, omentum connects the stomach and liver and contains the hepatic vessels. The gastrosplenic omentum, or ligament, connects the stomach and spleen.

Guess it is edible--looks like they use the fat from it, and it goes into edible tallow as well, from what I\'ve seen:
Clean fatty tissues such as kaul and mesentery fat may be processed into edible fat. http://www.fao.org/WAIRDOCS/LEAD/X6114E/x6114e03.htm
