Talk:Pata negra

Merger
Personally I think it would make more sense to merge this article, Pata negra and Jamón ibérico into the main Jamón since in English Jamón only refers to the Spanish dry-cured hams and a single article would give a better overview of the subject. FlagSteward 14:53, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Pata negra is illegal in the US. Why?

May need to be rewritten or deleted
The topic Pata negra is almost totally copied and pasted from which is a subpage of a commercial site mentioned as the external link at the end of the entry and its content is higly questionable considering the info given on  which has broad similarities with Jamón ibérico. In concrete terms, there states: "Included within the Jamón iberico classification is the idea of Pata Negra, but this in itself is not a sign of quality. as it merely indicates the quantity of keratin on the hoof. In truth Pata Negra is a popular and advertising term rather than a true category as there are lower quality jamones de pata negra and higher quality jamones ibericos which don’t have a pata negra. It has recently been banned to avoid such confusion." If the above statement is valid,the entry Pata negra should be rewritten or deleted. Keep in mind that the sole "source" of the article is a commercial Web page trying to sell the so called pata negra stuff. And yes, I agree with the merging proposal but a serious content check should be done prior to it. Neophyrigian (talk) 05:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
