Now the ham situation here in Spain can be a tad confusing for us foreigners.
In England we tend to think all ham tastes like that stuff you buy in the packs from Asda, perfect for sandwiches.
But here there are all different kinds of ham; the most common tending to be Jamon Serrano (cured), which please note is not the perfect sarnie ham we are used to. Instead it is chewy, slippery and tastes saltier. In fact if you do decide to stick it between bread it can be quite a battle to bite. Usually I give up and resort to swallowing huge chunks of the stuff!
Then there is Jamon de York, (cooked), which is the one to buy if you want something similar to good old Asda ham.
