El Museo de Jamón

If this doesn't look appetizing to you, then rest assured you are not alone. I will admit that I am not a big fan of ham. I might eat a bite or two at Thanksgiving along with my mountain of mashed potatoes, but for the most part I stay away from it. However, the ham in Spain was the most ham-flavored ham you could imagine. I mean, you would have to be a giant ham fan to enjoy this stuff, it was so hammy. And in most restaurants there were just giant legs of ham hanging all over.

At this particular restaurant, the Museum of Ham, I actually sat against a wall covered in ham legs. In fact, my hair probably brushed it, along with the hundreds of other peoples' hair. And this is the ham they serve to people also... a little gross I think.

That being said, the picture is Brendan's first course, ham with melon. Not complicated, that's just what it was: a large slice of ham draped over some honeydew melon. I say gross, Brendan says delicious.
