One says ham and one says leg. Leg of what? Who knows!

If it's long pig, it's worth the price.

Kind of surprising Costco would be the first to market long pig, but the timing really makes sense.

Jamon Iberco de bellota is the cream of the crop of pork, basically the Wagyu of pigs. Black Iberian pigs are a heritage breed that are primarily raised free range in dehesas, old growth oak forests where they graze on acorns and chestnuts. It imparts an amazing nutty flavor to the meat, and the fat is silky and starts to melt at room temperature. It’s an absolutely amazing food, much like Japanese wagyu beef, and if you ever get a chance to try it do so.

and the $99 one is Jamon serrano: "ordinary cured ham"

Please enjoy the secondary, serendipitous shot of the guy buying over 800 bottles of water. Probably because Amazon is coming to our area??

not to be judgemental or nothin, but what kind of frigid hellhole do you live in where your costco doesn't have skylights?

If my Costco had this instead of the regular one it would be at my house right now. This is the stuff.

I may be biased as I have actually been to the festival in Madrid for Jamon Iberico de Bellotta and I have supped at the hooves of the gods.

I'm well north of the 50th and on nice days they turn the lights off, having the store lit entirely by skylights.

There isn't enough man made light to match ti.

Buy one and invite 50 people over at $20 each. Get alcohol and the traditional jamon accoutrements (with the rest of the money) and eat the whole thing down to the bone. Break even having thrown an epic party.

Pretty much every new one does, but I don't think they are retrofitting the old ones. Most of the new ones have solar panels on the roof too, at least in parts of the world where it makes sense.

All of the Costcos I've been to have had skylights and the one closest to my office and the one closest to my house have solar panels on the roof as well.

I would never [afford to] buy a $500 ham leg, can you get 50 servings out of that for a party? That'd still be 10 bucks a head. That prosciutto and other meats sampler thing costco sells is good and is a hit at a party and you could buy a pallets worth for $500.

I just like to look at pictures on the internet and then maybe buy some slightly fancy lunch meat in a packet for $10 and eat it off a paper plate in my lovely apt with a glass of Two Buck Chuck from Trader Joes

I asked a very nice customer service person at my Costco if they were getting the Jambon Serrano. He told me they had none on order, but I could go to the King of Prussia store and get one. They apparently have 41 left.

Two reasons.
- Yellow is classic American as gently caress.
- Costco's Deli/Brown isn't anything special.

Where I live you can get the nice poo poo by the pound (or whatever weight you want). Might be another option if you wanted some but not into paying that kind of money.

Same. Here in Wisconsin it'd be very dangerous because snow can pile up very high on roofs. That can crash through the skylights.

It's a new one in Kenosha. Maybe opened 2 years. So they probably just didn't want to deal with that possibility.
