Pork

Answer 8

no idea, but they sound tasty

Answer 9

Jamon, the Spanish equivelent to the Italian prosciuotto, a bit shaper and more flavourful as they add spices and paprika to the curing mix, and it is dried differently and has a firmer more compex flavour, I prefer it to the Italian one.

could be lamb legs

Answer 11

Likely they are smoked pig legs, somewhat like the prosciuttos of Italy, very good by the way

They are hams, I havent had the opportunity to try some in spain but the acorn fed black pig is supposed to be the best.
