Happy pigs make good ham

Yesterday a presentation with the visiting American exchange students for Principe - the largest producer of ham in San Daniele. Its like the Parma ham of Friuli Venezia Giulia - and those of us that are working on the project are loking forward to tasting the produce on Friday.
We had a great briefing from the company, and were able to ask lots of questions, then tasted their cooked ham - Praga - which was delicious - especially with a glass of the local white wine. We also learnt that happy pigs make good ham - presumably as long as they don't know their destiny!
The pig in the ads looked pretty chuffed with himself, even though he was wearing a daft crash helmet. So presumably the ham is good...
