Those pork rolls look delicious. I don't have a wok here, but want to find something similar to deep fry the rolls if and when I try this recipe. They look like Vietnamese pork rolls I ate in Los Angeles a few times. While reading the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Appreciation-Misunderstood-Ingredient-Recipes/dp/1580089356/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295461926&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">Fat by Jennifer McLagen</a> I discovered that sausages can also be made using caul fat instead of intestines. Which is what this pork roll recipe seems to be! The wonders of fat! Thanks for the recipe, Pat.

The pretty membrane (which I unknowingly call 'pig's net' when I was a kid) is also used in festive Asian cooking to wrap minced meat into rolls or balls. Here is a blog post that describes how to make <a href="http://wendyinkk.blogspot.com/2010/12/pork-caul-rolls.html" rel="nofollow">Pork Caul Rolls</a> for X'mas/ Lunar New Year celebrations. Your way of wrapping the caul around an entire (unminced) turkey is very unique -- nothing like what I had seen in Asian cooking. I have just left your blog URL in my comment (still hidden for moderation while I'm writing this) at the above-mentioned blog. Perhaps your fellow Asian chef might attempt your special method of using pig's caul. You sure got yourself a very big piece of pig’s caul !
