As far as I know, cooking in a bladder (usually meat in its own fat or
cooking juices, with or without other ingredients) has been done inside
fresh bladders since prehistoric times. Usually known as a sausage, or
in some cases, a haggis.

Yeah, it sounds like I'm kidding (I have a congenital defect that
prevents my being too serious during certain phases of the moon), but
I'm quite serious. See Reay Tannahill's "Food in History", and C. Anne
Wilson's "Food and Drink in Britain" for more information.
