Blanco y Negro

Don Duende, Antonio and Horatio went to collect some jamón today. It's a bit of a trek into Las Alpujarras and started snowing as they climbed the mountain road. It didn't deter them though, they were on a mission. As the snow was so bad they then had to spend a good portion of the afternoon in Resturante Haza Del Lino sampling fine pork washed down with local wine. One can assume they had a fine day. The jamón tastes good.
Factoid: Jamón Ibérico de Pata Negra. Pata negra is a type of jamón serrano and is considered to be of the highest quality. Pata negra literally means black hoof in Spanish. It is produced from a venerable strain of Iberian hog, native only to Spain. Jamón Ibérico is the formal name. Some people also call it 'Jabugo' as the most famous "Pata Negra" comes from the town of Jabugo (Huelva) in the region of Andalucia.
