What do u like about it? Honestly there isn't much taste to it. And I know it's good quality cause I bought it from Costco. When I hear it up on the stove it becomes very salty and gamey. Otherwise there isn't really a profound taste other than being slimy and fishy tasting

With all respect I have for italians and their food, iberico just fucking destroys prosciutto.

In fact, prosciutto tastes to me like average groceries ham.

italian here. very high quality prosciutto di Parma or San Daniele (not the usual stuff you buy in supermarkets) is an excellent product, but I agree that jamon iberico de bellota can be superior.
but it's also a lot more expensive.

Yes I like it. Iberian ham is superior. A lot of these cured meats are basically antipasti / tapas / meze to me though so they fall into the category of 'drinking food'. Unless I'm working hard I prefer to drink rather than eat in the evening anyway.

Can't tell if you're trolling but just in case I'll let you know that not everything from Costco is top quality. Deli meat in general from there is probably not the best. A lot of their cheese is just alright as well. The best things to get are canned foods, roast chicken, some of the produce, and most of the raw meat is pretty decent. That, and anything you'd get at a regular store, just bigger and cheaper. I can get crackers for literally half the price per box at Costco.

ive tried prosciutto a handful of times and it reminded me of dirty pussy. One chick that had a gross pussy actually made some bruschetta with some spread, apricot and prosciutto that was pretty good. i'll save judgement until I can get some real shit one day

This anon has it right. I am also a huge fan of Italy and their food. Probably in my top 5 favorite countries (i travel a lot) but the fact of the matter is good Jamon Iberico is just one of the greatest things in the world. I have been to prosciutto di parma makers in Spain, and Jamon Iberico makers in Spain. I am talking top quality stuff straight at the source. The Jamon Iberico was just better.

Generally though most people underrate Spanish cuisine, and just Spain in general. Between Jamon Iberico, salmorejo, and sherry down south, to hopping from Pinxto bar to Pinxto bar up in the Basque country, Spain is great for food.

Same experience here. I've tried both hams from both countries live and despite that italian food ranks 1st in my personal list of favourite cuisines and spanish ranks 6th, Iberico ham is something out of this world, even more if it's pata negra. And I do agree that spanish gastronomy is very underrated, having some awesome dishes, specially seafood and fresh preparations.
>>15197703

The rope is a net, after the filling is piped into the casing and tied its sent through a tube with the net on the other end. As the sausage comes out the other side the tube it goes through the net on the other end and the net wraps itself over the sausage; it is then cooked.

Thanks for the kind words of support. I do think Italian cuisine is more sophisticated and popular. But I think this is partly because their food culture is more homogeneous throughout the country.

Spanish cuisine and culture is pretty different in south and north and thus I think it's difficult to "market" spanish food as a thing.

it's a very interesting topic, scholars say that the actual big difference is between the two side of the Apennine mountains,after there is a distiction from inland to seaside, north and south and local powers
there are also obviously influence from german speaking countries, the balkans, france, north africa and spain (who for exaple introduced rice to the north of the country)

Well i guess that's the case in italy then. I don't know, maybe the popularity is more due to italian immigration in USA throughout the XXth century and the introduction and normalisation of pasta into European cuisine.

Rabo de Toro is very typical in Spain too of course. In any case Italy and Spain feel pretty comfortable within each other culturally and gastronomically for whatever the reasons.

>>15201470
>Italy isn't real.
Don't open that can of worms anon. All countries have a degree of cultural heterogeneity within them.

>>15201562
Are you in the USA? 50 bucks for a whole leg would be such a cheap leg. I mean it's probably not awful, but I wouldn't bother. If you want to notice a difference with other cured pork meats, the less you would have to spend would be like 100€ in Spain if you want to get something that resembles the experience, and around 500€ if you want to make sure you're getting the best quality possible. Prices revolve around to which degree the pig has genes from the local species, and wether it was fed with acorns in semi-wild condition or just regular stock food. And if you live outside of spain i bet it could be more expensive. They have a labeled code of color follows pic related so look for it.

So I can't guarantee you will be satisfied with a 50 bucks leg. Plus there's the fact that you need to be kind of confident you will know how to carve it and not ruin the cuts, which is not something you just do right the first time. I think you would be better off buying vacuum sealed cuts with certified quality. They're totally fine.

On the other hand, any ham is pretty good when it's freshly cut. My dad always gets gifted a pretty cheap ham during christmas and we enjoy it a lot. It's just not remotely as good as it could potentially be.
