Pig butt anyone?

You have to admire a country with such a passion for ham, or Jamón to be correct in Spanish.
Here in Madrid you can really splurge on the tasty asses of swine.
I personally prefer the jamón ibérico which is taken from Black Ibérian pig which eats only acorns while roaming oak forests between Spain and Portugal. It’s a romantic thing to think of them hobbling around eating nuts waiting to be slaughtered. It’s romantic because in the States it’s usually the abused animals that taste the best like baby calves that hang in the air on ropes and are never allowed to touch the ground for fear of their meat becoming less tender.
A small plate of jamón ibérico will set you back about 20 Euros or more than 30 dollars U.S. but it is worth every Euro cent.
The olives here are tasty as well but they aren’t nearly as funny to write about.
On the subject of meat, for the domainers who are reading this, it’s interesting to note that cubesteak.com does over 1 dollar a day for me on AdSense. That name shouldn’t do so well. Clearly it is because the name has a mini-site on it and isn’t parked. If you’d like me to help you put mini-sites up on your names and you are willing to pay my team for their time, drop me a note with the names you’d like done and we’ll get back to you.
Rick… I think you know so much about foods. I remember your other post when you talked about some Mexican foods that I can’t even pronounce. You actually make man salivate. But be careful; don’t get caught up too much in foreign foods. You might not have the privileged of getting them easily once you back in States. lol… I’d shoot you an email right away as per some minisites.
Rick,
RE: cubesteak.com
Wordpress 2.3.1 has a sql injection bug in it which people can use to inject hidden links into all your pages.
You should upgrade to 2.3.2 or 2.5.1

never heard of a “sql injection bug” but will research and set in motion my plan to topple the rick latona empire.

Ibérico has been very popular in Japan ever since we started importing in 2004. I just had “bellota” for the fisr time the other day, it was rearry damn good! I never knew pig ass can taste so good.
