This Little Piggy wants in on the "Unwanted Ham Mountain"

Let's face it, we're in a recession, and things aren't looking too bright for little piggies these days!  The Telegraph reported that sales of the the world-renowned jamon iberico are down as much as 20 percent this holiday season, a period that usually accounts for more than 60 percent of annual revenue.  Excessive production over the years is resulting in an "unwanted ham mountain".  Oh goodness, not an unwanted ham mountain!

The good news?  The article states that "With an estimated four million hams unsold, the gourmet foodstuff is almost being given away."  Maybe this little piggy will have to buy a piggy leg for her new apartment (good thing it's not my leg!).  Oink oink!
