I buy mine from the local market here in Benetuser. I think a spanish beer tasting might be in order. One per region. Keep up the good work on the blog. My personal fav is Pata negra.

Last Christmas and this one, we've bought whole ones. I'm not sure how wise a move this is, though. It saves on costs, that's for sure, but at the same time it sort of compels you to always have the same type of ham every day (and it is every day!) and though I've tried my best I can never manage to cut the ham as the experts do; other Spanish people tell me they have problems with this as well. And I'm not sure that the Valencian climate is the best one for keeping a ham as fresh as it needs to be. Still, it's nice to carve a few slices as and when we want. I love ham.

My mouth is watering...and I am with you- the Italians have nothing on the spanish jambon...just like a Portuguese choriço is waaaaayyyy better than the Italian chorizo everyone bandies about;-) We do know that "Jamón, Jamón" was Penelope Cruz's first major role and the movie that made her a star in Spain - just some trivia;-) Oh, god...When am I visiting??? Sounds like you 2 have a great group of people to eat and laugh with...Let's talk soon Katie! xo! I am sooooo jealous!

If the salivations of the dog were anything to go by, the Jamón smelled good too. I guess the only ones that didn´t enjoy the event were the pigs... (sorry Ivan, out of order, but I couldn´t resist!). As one of the veggies there, I can attest to the brilliance of the event, even though we felt like eunuchs at an orgy (not original - but apt)!
