Jamón

The first time I was walking around Madrid I saw a store called "Museo del Jamón" and my friend who I was walking with asked me what it was and without hesitation I said, "Oh it's a museum of ham." Ha. Yeah right. If you have never been to Spain you probably do not know about the obsession/fascination that the Spanish have for jamón. Jamón is ham and is served everywhere with everything. A popular example is, "jamón con queso." "Jamón" also hangs from restaurant ceilings like in this picture:
