What do I think of when I think of Spanish food? Jamón, jamón y jamón. Andy has told us that we are in the epicenter for cured ham. For lack of a better word… WOW. Definitely am going to take advantage of this opportunity. Apparently the process of curing the ham takes years! It amazes me that Zingermanns will charge you $200 dollars for one pound of cured meat. I wish I could take some back with me. Here, a jamón y queso sandwich is definitely a staple.
Although before coming here I knew about the abundance of jamón, it was only yesterday that I first discovered Tapas. It is my true belief that if the entire world indulged in Tapas there would be world peace. Wars would no longer exist. There is nothing a decadent tapa and glass of sangria can’t cure. Combine this with a daily siesta?? Heaven.
Tonight the Foodie Practicum is going to “Tapas hop” a bit more. I cannot wait to continue explore the Spanish cuisine!

Katherine - you are so right. Here, ham is king! I hope you enjoy the variety of hams we are going to try tonight at the tasting.
