Museo del Jamón, Restaurante, Madrid
















This may be the best Spanish eats for the whole trip. Plus, the place was having a special promotion: Everything was just 1 Euro. So good and fun that we ate here twice. Frommer's says: The displays on the walls of this unique establishment explain the bewildering name: "The Museum of Ham." As in an art exhibition, large amounts of different kinds of hams -- cured by a variety of methods -- hang from the ceilings. The popular chorizos are hooked in rows reminiscent of one of those scenes in Golden Age paintings. This is indeed a real museum of the most celebrated fast food in Spain.
Museo del Jamón products are generally not available in Muslim Morocco, however. We will miss them.
There's a good story about ordering "crab" sandwich in Madrid that did not turn out well for us that I will share later.
