bods1000 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 no prob, bods...i, too, enjoy eating mexican dishes. it's of the list of things to do when i visit the u.s... I would have to take you up on your offer that we try the jamon jabugo as described by the owner... (just before my annual medical exams! )<{POST_SNAPBACK}> well according to my latest blood chem, my LDL is high - but what the heck! We'll neutralize it by jugfuls of reds hehehe.... it's a wonder that Mexico, despite being colonized for several hundred years by Spain, was able to retain its cuisine identity. Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I think pareng masi will agree that this is no reason to worry. We are all just student here. Learning from each other's experiences . . .I find that the jamon serrano is the more popular Spanish ham. But even in Spain, the jabugo is acknowledged to be the better ham which explains why it is also at least 20% more expensive. For my tastes, it is also less "ma-anta" (don't know what that word is in English).<{POST_SNAPBACK}> thanks, pare!hey, visit the wine thread as we are cooking up something for next week - we'd like to have you there. I read somewhere that jamon serrano does not really originate from Serrano (or is there such a place in Spain?). Quote Link to comment

Ambiance is lovely too.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> you're right on the money here!!!! the "tutong" part and literally scrapping the bottom of paellera adds to the gusto of this dish!!! the paella at la tienda and patio guernico are notorious for its tutong... i just had breakfast and i'm craving for paella...
