Hi Nathan:

I like this one best:

But... that may be because during a visit to Marbella in 1987, I was 
strolling along the open beach near the Don Carlos hotel and stopped for 
lunch at a "snack shack".  When I asked for a ham sandwich, I was 
surprised to see the cook reach up into the grass roof to retrieve a 
long, large leg of a well cooked pig and then proceed to slice off some 
thick pieces for my meal.  The whole process didn't look all that 
appetizing, but the results proved to be one of the best ham sandwiches 
that I've ever eaten.
