Anyway, I did an Iberian ham tour a few days ago with two lawyers from Hong Kong who had read the article. Actually, they had brought the article with them and kindly gave it to me. As my knowledge of Chinese is zero, I have enjoyed looking at the photographs! They is one of me eating an Iberian pork rib!

In fact, it will be called “Rick Stein’s Spain”. Anyway, I was given the dates for the 4-part series which will be shown on BBC 2 in the UK. They are as follows:
