POST-TASK

All Spanish eat "jamón serrano".



  • Look at the pictures showing two of the typical Spanish foods. What do you think about it? Do you agree or disagree? Support your answers.
  • Explanation about the origin of Serrano ham: Even before the arrival of the Romans at the Iberian Peninsula, the population living on the peninsula had already been growing large quantities of swines (and of spanish serrano hams). The Iberians were also trading olive oil, wine and, of course, serrano ham and cold cut meat. These activities were yielding enough returns. The pig was something so valuable that during the age of Augustus and Agripa some ham-shaped Roman coins were created. Some pig images were also discovered on consular medals which were used as military sign of some legion - Celtic and Pre-romanic Gaelic ones.”
