Meet Evan, someone I first “met” when he became a paid subscriber (!!!) to Bitesize Sevilla a few months ago and then we got to chatting a bit. I found out he’d recently moved to Sevilla from Memphis and had set up home in the Macarena barrio. Anyhow, after chatting a bit we decided to meet up, which we have done a couple of times now (with Peter joining us for tapas) and it’s been great. It’s especially lovely to meet another social introvert because we both “get it”. Also Evan is fun, smart, has a dog I have yet to meet, and we both share a love of El Corte Inglés (it has everything!).
He is also a political analyst and essayist, the managing editor of Wonkette and owner/editor of The Moral High Ground. So if your interests run to excellent political writing, both serious and satirical, go check him out. Nice to have a new neighbour, both online and irl, and a willing “extra stomach” for doing Tapas Research.

So this came across my radar in the wee hours whilst scrolling all over the place instead of sleeping… the first ever World Jamón Championship. It is being organised by a world-wide supplier of Jamón Ibérico de Bellota and will be held in Ronda during their Goyesca celebration at the beginning of September. And while I was thinking, okay it’s another jamón competition, I was struck by the global thing… like why? Jamón Ibérico is only produced here and there are only four designated Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) which are obvs the four participating in this event. So what the hell, I’m calling it. Spain is going to win this!
