Pigs are tasty

Yes, the Spanish people love their ham. Clockwise from top left: wall of ham; another wall of ham; Palace of Ham, random husky begging for ham; Ham Paradise; Museum of Ham.

Each individual pig thigh, trotter attached, costs around 150 Euros at the supermarket. They look really gross, all shrivelled and mouldy but actually taste quite good. You can get it as a tapa where they slice a piece off and put it on top of grilled bread and tomato.

The picture beneath is a thigh that's been sliced to the bone. I wish I could export one home for my dog to gnaw.
