Jonathon right it does sound strange but cured ham is highly prized in Spain.

I am going to Madrid Spain friday the ham (Jammon) capitol of the world. Bar none the place to be for perfecly cured ham especially Iberico. Black hoof pigs that free range on a diet of mostly acorns. Going to the ham museum and plan on plenty of ham Tapas and Chorizo in Madrid & Granada. Can’t wait!
