Had dinner at "Pata Negra", a tapas place right next door to S'Mac, with K and some of her friends. psifenix, I believe you now that Jamón Ibérico is the one true ham. Apparently Pata Negra is just another name for that same thing? Maybe?

Another choice phrase from wikipedia on the topic is

After the 2009 Christmas season, Spain was left with an "unwanted ham mountain", as supply outweighed demand.

Now if that isn't a band name waiting to happen, I don't know what is.
