I guessed it may have been some sort of ham (jamon), but I've never seen it on the leg in a household like that. There's a big difference between cultural differences in home cooking and having fast-food restaurants... I'm not sure why the discussion went there, unless I've just been trolled (probably).
At any rate, thanks for the confirmation. In these parts, it's only very fine restaurants that have true Serrano ham. I've had it a few times in Barcelona, but only once back in the states. I imagine it's even harder to get now, after the mad cow breakouts make it so hard to import meat.
