(In Spanish)
“I’d like a bocadillo”
“Would you like cheese, jamon serrano or jamon dulce?”
“Can I have it with jamon serrano and cheese?”
“Sorry. Only one.”
“Even if I pay extra?”
“Sorry we can’t do that”
“Uh ok… but you sell jamon serrano by the gram, can’t you just charge me for that?”
“No.”
“Uh… ok then. I’d like a bocadillo with cheese. I’d also like to buy 20 grams of jamon serrano.”
“That’s a very small amount of jamon.”
“Just enough for one bocadillo.”

S/He was only trying to save you from yourself. The Spanish (and Catalans, by the look of it)consider mixing serrano ham with cheese sacrilege. Me, I like it with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, a bit of olive oil, maybe some olives...I'm going straight to hell.
Too funny
I love how strangers here take responsibility for keeping you on the straight and narrow.
It reminded me a bit of the discussion we had at a restaurant a while back trying to convince them that my vegetarian sister really didn't want any jamon in her peas, or when my mom came to visis and wanted a coffee to start her meal.
Jamon dulce plus cheese appears to be an approved combination.
