You could of course modify this, e.g., something like "veal-filled filo parcels"

I think it is also helpful for the anglophone diner to include "filo"

little sacks filled with veal


Explanation:
Hola Toby, si quisiera traducir ese nombre propio, haría referencia a sacks que es a lo que se parece ese tipo de sacos, como los sacos de yute, por el color. Pouches hace mas referencia a un tipo de bolso o accesorio de plastico.

cambiaría el "of" por "with". Puedes poner solo "with" o "filled with" pero como es un nombre propio y debe ser comercial, depende de lo que prefiera el cliente, puede elegir lo más corto o completo.

puedes colocar "with veal" o "with veal meat"

También se omitió el diminutivo, por eso agrego "little"
Adjunto un plato de mi país (Perú) con caracteristicas similares donde se usa el modo largo.

Como en nombres propios es cuestion de gustos, dependerá de lo que desea el cliente, algo mas corto o largo.

Saludos,

agree  franglish: I'd go with "veal-filled/stuffed fil parcels"
35 mins
  -> thanks franglish!
agree  Alex Ossa: The surname is definitely filo parcels, however you start off the name! I like veal filo parcels. I don't think it's necessary to say they are filled - feels a bit redundant.

  -> Thanks Alex, you're quite right!
agree  James A. Walsh
4 hrs
  -> Thanks James!
agree  Charles Davis: I think it's probably beef rather than veal. In Spain, at least, beef is always called ternera, and it rarely means veal in practice. Look at the raw meat in photo 6: to me it looks a bit too dark to be veal. See what you think.
4 hrs
  -> Thanks Charles! Good point, I wonder if the meat in image 6 might not be what we now call "rose veal", or "young beef"... As the name suggests, it is a far cry from the white veal formerly sold in the UK from baby cows (usually bull calves).
agree  neilmac: Ditto Charles' beef. It's unlikely to be veal, which in Spain would be "lechal" ...

  -> Thanks Neil! Possibly "rose veal" (which is more welfare friendly and older than white veal...? See this Wiki entry "Se llama carne de ternera a la carne de las vacas o bueyes que se han criado por lo menos seis meses de edad ...

veal filo bundles


Explanation:
I would be inclined to call these bundles since the pastry is gathered up like that and tied with a chive or spring onion tie

Carefully bring the edges of each filo pastry together into a little bundle. Tie each bundle with a long chive. Brush filo bundles with olive oil. Bake until crisp and golden, about 15 minutes.
