Real Serrano ham (and Yunan ham) is against the law here in the US
due to the temperatures at which it's cured.

You can find some imported and domestic stuff, but it's not the real
deal. Most of us wouldn't really know the difference anyway.

I take part of that back. I was thinking of the Iberico ham that's
illegal. Many serrano hams are also illegal (and anything on the
hoof), but they aren't as distinctive as the Iberian hams to which I
was thinking.

Bite me. Prove me wrong. And while you try and do that, you'll see
that I'm right.

I already corrected part of my Serrano ham post.
