If you can afford it, buy from local roasters. The companies listed in the report are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to coffee. Your local roaster will surely be buying direct from the farms, and the coffee will be miles ahead in terms of flavor.

    Sorry, but nobody calls it Chorizo de Castilla, because there are two regions in Spain that start with Castilla (Castilla-la Mancha and Castilla Y León). Hence, queso manchego or Cecina de León. I would say that, by the looks of the pink color, the ham is probably a type of prosciutto crudo from Italy. The pepperoncini next it would not be served anywhere in Spain, but they are a staple in Italy, so I'm leaning towards an Italian influence, although the cheese on the right looks more French, but I can't say for certain.

    Typically in Spain you'd get a ración, which is a single item on a plate (like jamón or chorizo ibérico). That way you only get what you ordered, and not extra filler items.

    Also, I googled the image, and seems to be from a restaurant in Florida, so each item could be from a different country, and my whole argument is pointless.
