Many bars and restaurants have whole hams hanging from the rafters.
The red and white plastic cups are intended to catch any dripping juices.
When it comes time to serve, the ham is set in a place of honor on
the bar -- bone, hoof and all. The bartender slices bits off for tapas and
leaves the rest out to tempt patrons.
At first this appears to be a bizarre and archaic tradition, then
it becomes perfectly clear that this IS a bizarre and
archaic tradition. It is pretty cool, if you ask me.
