Absolutely!
 
They are large meatballs made from minced liver onions and spices.  Usually 
baked, together with a rich gravy, and are individually wrapped in an "apron" 
or the "omentum" (?sp) (- i.e. the transparent layer that covers the 
intestines of the animal) to cook because they are very tender and apt to 
fall apart.  The omentum is removed gently befoe serving.

They are quite delicious! 

I have a recipe...

Yes/no?

(this recipe (strangely) doesn't use "aprons".

BTW In Britain they are usually served as an entree with mushy or processed 
peas, and are a quite popular "pub" dish - "Faggots and Peas"
