Melons with ham
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.One of those famous marriages of sweet and savoury. As simple as it may be though, it relies heavily on the two ingredients being of the highest quality and in perfect condition.
One of those famous marriages of sweet and savoury. As simple as it may be though, it relies heavily on the two ingredients being of the highest quality and in perfect condition. You can theme a melon and ham mixture by matching a French ham such as Bayonne or Rosette de Lyon with, say, an orange-fleshed Charentais. Wherever you are in Europe buy the best local ham to go with melon. In the West Country, you could try one of Denhay Farms' award-winning, air-dried hams from my home town, Bridport ( www.denhay.co.uk). If you're in London go to Brindisa in Borough Market on Fridays and Saturdays or their shop in Exmouth Market, EC1, and buy some of the finest joselito or a pata negra.
