The Guardian up in the UK has recently published an article about the "dark history" of Spanish ham. So today's episode is about jamón (and pork more generally) as a piece of the culture wars. Is the Spanish inquisition affecting your dietary choices? Is jamón a tool of social exclusion? All valid questions we'll be answering.
