Caul fat is the fatty membrane which surrounds internal organs of some animals, such as cows, sheep, and pigs, also known as the greater omentum. It is often used as a natural sausage casing and to encase faggots or pâté. Caul fat is also known as Lace Fat.

[edit] In Religion

The Torah or "Bible" declares that the "caul above the liver" was to be burnt (not eaten). See Exo. 29:13, 22; Lev. 3:4, 10, 15, 4:9, 7:4, 8:16, 25, 9:10, 19.
