The Emperor of the Ham elected :

Two postings ago I told you about the "Festival of the Ham" 
( the Schinkenfest )

Now the deed is done, the Emperor elected by the people.

Hans Piko, the Bleiburgian Farmer, per excellance, triumphed over many compeditors.

So, there he is, 

Hans  Piko is not just "a farmer" ! Hans is a "passionate farmer !"

Each Tuesday, as regular as clockwork, he puts up his stand in Bleiburg, on the main square

and offers his product for sale.

Among the finest cuts of beef and veal there is of course his Ham.

He also makes sausages and bakes delicious bread.

Here is the "crowned" Hans.

I think Hans should have a huge jewel studded crown of a real Emperor

"The People elected their Emperor"

The local Newspaper shows Hans and his two closest competitiors.
