Cf Julia Child et al, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, vol. I, p. 329, "Preparing a leg of lamb for cooking... Do not remove the fell or filament covering the meat."

Sorry to go off-topic, but the skin or hide of an animal reminded me of a joke I read long ago: Willy: Didja know baseballs are covered with hide? Silly: Hide? Willy: Hide, hide--a cow's outside! Silly: Who the heck's afraid of a cow? Yeah, I know; but it holds fond memories for me.
