Prosciutto (an italian cured ham) comes close on taste, but the meat is normally not as firm as serrano. For a domestic ham, try a Virginia Ham, they are brined and cured so that they have some of the taste of the serrano and the texture is closer to a serrano. See this link for more details: <a href="http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/227852.html" rel="nofollow">Google Answers</a> . As to a preferred method to have the ham, I usually like to eat serrano in small strips with a good, firm cheese (manchego for example). I have seen some people incorporate them in their omelette, as a pizza topping or even a sandwich. Enjoy and let me know if you get to try the ham!

Do you know of a ham that would taste close to serrano but not cost as much? Thanks! Dave I have heard so much about serrano ham and would like to try it or maybe a cheaper but close american ham.
