  Jamonisimo Interior

Ham is one of the best things about Spain, and Jamonisimo (C/Provença 85, 0034 93 439 08 47) is its temple. You have to eat ham with your fingers and you have to like the fat; if you don't like the fat, don't eat the ham. It's also crucial to eat it at the right temperature. Don't eat ham in December. I take Heston Blumenthal there - he loves it. In fact, it's where I take all the chefs and critics. It's a little place, but almost mythical.
