We were recently in New York City as Dawn and I visited our son, Matt, who is working at Fordham University. One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to Ellis Island, where loads of immigrants to the US first landed and were processed before moving around the country. A small island in New York’s harbor, right next to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island is a must-see for anyone visiting New York. Many Americans trace their ancestors arrival into the country back to Ellis Island. It’s an inspirational place to sit and realize the promise that America held to those making the difficult passage from Europe and ponder the hope that continues to drive immigrants today.

In Madrid, the Spanish value ham so highly that they have museums dedicated to the delicacy. The most expensive ham, jamón ibérico de bellota, comes from a free-range black pig that dines on acorns and herbs as it matures in the forests. After slaughter, the meat is cured for three to four years. Of course, it’s fabulous. In Madrid, you can get ham in many ways, but my favorite was the “ham cone” pictured here. You can choose from several varieties of ham that you enjoy as you stroll around the city.
While visiting my hometown of Branson, MO, recently, I can across a disturbingly similar display of classic meat. In this case, bologna. In the Ozarks you can get a wide variety of bolognas, including thick cut, a light variety, even BBQ. You can get 100% beef bologna or a cut that is anything but beef. So much to choose from but unfortunately no cones. Yet. Here’s an open opportunity for an enterprising young person to start selling bologna cones to tourists.
