iberico ham/pata negra

[bednobs]

has anyone tried it? i would like to see what it tastes like because my friend always goes on about it but for 5 wafer thin slices it's nearly £9 in waitrose. Is it worth it please?

To me.......pata nigra is fabulous....soft, tasty excellent filling for a bread roll or with other Spanish tapas.

Pata nigra....."black foot".....species of pig.

i would guess it's a bit cheaper over there.

I call it sliced Pork or Spanish Ham ! I get confused with all these fancy names ! ;-))

bednobs........toast, rub a tomato over it and put the ham +olive oil (expensive if possible...virgen).......add a "touch" of garlic.

It is expensive in Spain also bednobs.

yum:)

[Sqad]

bednobs.....you are correct......."negra".........I am wrong "nigra"

Well......I just eat it ;-)

It sounds delish either way it's spelled...I like the idea of the olive oil and garlic.
