What is the white part (circled in black) of these lamb chops called? I know they contain fat, but is there a name for the tissue itself? Do they occur throughout the meat or is it only in certain parts? I believe back lamb racks don't contain them, but the front ones do. Is this correct?

    Maybe lamb fat (suet)? – roetnig Jan 12 '19 at 21:23

    I don't think this is what is making you dizzy. Perhaps something else you are having with the dinner? Or maybe a blood sugar issue? There is just no realistic reason why the sinew/fat of a piece of meat would suddenly make you lightheaded. (please consult your primary physician) – elbrant Jan 15 '19 at 04:25
  • @roetnig i thought suet was particularly the fat from around the kidney? – Robin Betts Jan 21 '19 at 22:35

    @RobinBetts suet is located also in the loins and other parts – roetnig Jan 21 '19 at 23:04

It's hard to tell from your photo, but probably fat or connective tissue.
