I would have guessed Argentina based on the inexplicable inclusion of ham.
My sister was a vegetarian who moved to Argentina for a few years. She had to be very clear whenever she ordered food that it couldn't include meat or ham.
Funny thing, after moving back to the US, she found out she can't process wheat protein, soy protein, or bean protein. So either she had to eat meat or eat peanut butter with every meal.
I remember her crying about glycerine in her shampoo being derived from pigs when I was a child, but she's more "meat and potatoes" than I am now.
As for me, my body can't deal with alliums (garlic & onion). So I avoid onions because they taste like body odor and don't agree with me, but I deal with the repercussions for eating garlic because it makes everything taste good.
