There are certain things in Spain that you just have to accept. One of them is that ham is the country´s breakfast, lunch and dinner of choice. The country revolves around all pork products. For instance, in Madris we saw un museo de jamon in 5 different places...translated this means ham museum. Upon further examination, we realized that this actually was a butchery/bar. Pringles have a different flavor here...you guessed it ham. When we got to my homestay, I found out that my roommate does not eat pork products. Our homestay mom would not believe it! She proceeded to go through about 6 different pork products in her refrigerator and asked him if he liked each one individually. Now she talks to me about him while he is in the room saying that he won´t eat anything. Now for lunch every day, I get a sandwhich with a ham product and my roommate gets whatever she can find in the refrigerator. Yesterday for lunch, I had bread and ham...haha. Needless to say, it must be hard for Jewish people to survive in this country.
