Bonsoir sister Black-magniolia,

And Parma is famous for it's cheese!!! Parma gave the cheese it's name or was it the other way around? Am I right Elisa, or am I right?

Parma is famous both for cheese (Parmigiano) and pork ham (Prosciutto)
it's possible that cheese is more famous than ham because the name \"Parmigiano\":
the word \"Parmigiano\" is the same word that we use to call people who lives in Parma (as you call Dubliner who lives in Dublin).

I know, brother Thurysaz! But I just don't like the English word \"ham\" as it has a too wide meaning (in my ears at least); this is maybe also because of the Croatian language where we differ \"šunka\" as in cooked/smoked/etc. ham and \"pršut\" which is specially the word for proscuito. :silly:

Got a poster by Frances as well, a vampire girl with mouth wide open and a cross around her neck, sitting down on the forest floor in something like a weddingdress.

Not my favorite, but she has some nice pictures

Bonjour sister Black-magniolia,

In my country, Belgium, the french word for proscuito is: Jambon.
