State affair for ham: Cathedral from Saint-Flour in focus!

In an unexpected turn, the suspension of ham in a French cathedral has developed into a heated state affair! The Cathedral of Saint-Flour in the picturesque south of France, known for its culinary treasures, is the focus of attention after around 60 ham that were hung up in the church tower. Minister of Culture Rachida Dati has now taken the initiative and dealt with the explosive dossier that concerns the future of this tasty tradition.

The problem? The monument protection authorities and the prefecture in the famous Cantal department have raised the alarm! They fear that dripping fat could damage the historical walls of the cathedral. In addition, access to the tower is hindered by the ham. A ban was issued that prohibits the continuation of this unusual method for ham maturation. But the minister shows understanding of the local gastronomy, which is enthusiastic about the air -dried ham "Florus Solatium" and benefits from the revenues that benefit the preservation of the cathedral.

A balancing act between tradition and protection
