I think I've seen it on Iron Chef America and Good
Eats. I've fried prosciutto and loved it.

Every once in a while Costco carries a Canadian
prosciutto that are sized like quarter hams. Very
good. One thing I learned is slice them as soon as
I buy them - I froze one whole and it wasn't easy to
come up with a recipe that could handle a giant
piece of cured ham like that.
