mesentery Explanation: well... doesn't sound too edible to me, but this is what it is (according to Collins). mes·en·ter·y ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mzn-tr, ms-) n. pl. mes·en·ter·ies Any of several folds of the peritoneum that connect the intestines to the dorsal abdominal wall, especially such a fold that envelops the jejunum and ileum. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=mesentery Yum, yum. :-P I'll have a look and see if I can find anything else. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2003-06-28 18:03:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 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. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=omentum -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2003-06-28 18:14:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- hmm... glossary of cookery (historical): CROW, the mesentery of an animal, connected with the intestines. Thus the crow is given as a part of a bacon hog, 160.(Glasse, 1747) CROW is the mesentery or giblets. (William Ellis, 1750) http://www.kal69.dial.pipex.com/glossc.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 33 mins (2003-06-28 18:20:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 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 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 17 mins (2003-06-28 19:05:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Crépine - A thin membrane veined with fat that encloses the stomach of animals - used to make crépinettes. Also known as cawl or toilette, it is used to hold together ingredients in certain dishes such as terrines, faggots, stuffed cabbage leaves. http://www.cookeryonline.com/Resource/GlossaryC.html#Crepine Guess that sounds marginally better.
