Iberico ham. If you have never heard of it, it is about time you start educating yourself. It is the meat from this wild Spanish pig that I always picture galloping in the fresh grass on a mountainside.

Apparently, that one commercial years prior made him enough money to travel around Europe for some time while enjoying his

You may have heard that the Netherlands has this thing where they adore bicycles. Not in the charming, they’re practical way but in the sense of if you don’t have one, you’re an idiot.
