Pork Roll?

[LostAbbott]

What are these pork rolls I keep seeing? Is it good? What is in it? Is it just fancy spam? Can I find some on the west coast or is it just a midwest, east coast deal?

[Chainsaw13]

AFAIK, it's east coast. Never seen one here in the enchanted mitten.

Taylor Ham is a Jersey thing ;)

[Smokin Gator]

Damn Chingas has me addicted to the stuff. I have a Jersey breakfast sandwich nearly every Saturday morning!! My favorite version is a New York Everything bagel, two slices of American cheese, a scrambled egg, and of course a nice thick slice of pan fried pork roll.

Abbott - It's time that addy comes my way...I can see the Pigs Flying Already!

[replicant_argent]

for some reason I was just salivating... I wonder why.


I am a die-hard Spam-head, however.

[cobra03]

The WaWa's around Richmond made these once upon a time and they were fantastic i got one every chance i could :dr

[LostAbbott]

No no Chingas that is not necessary, I was just wondering what they were. Thanks for the offer though. :)

It's not the same. Taylor Ham is it's own thing, it's all pork not bits and pieces. I don't think you can even get it on the west coast, let alone when you were in middle school :r

Joe,
First thing is first here.
I think the title to this thread and the conversation from here on in should not be about "pork roll".
Not a soul I knew would ever, ever refer to it or order "pork roll".
There is one name and one name alone when ordering this product.


You referred to it by the brand name that made it..................Taylor Ham.

Nothing beat a Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese sandwich on a Kaiser at 3 in the morning at a Jersey diner.

It's funny Carlos, but depending where you lived in Jersey it goes by different names. I always knew it as Taylor Ham, nobody in this area ever calls it pork roll. But go south a little to central jersey and you'll find Taylor Pork Roll, and head to south jersey and it's just pork roll. Did some research on this back in the CS days with some of the other Jersey guys, and it's because of distribution that we got these differences in names. Different brands had different names to avoid copyright issues, but Taylor Ham is actually the oldest name for it. Come to North Jersey and ask for pork roll and people will look at you funny :r

Being raised, having gone to grade school, HS and College in Nork, Taylor Ham is the only way I knew how to order this.

We had a great mom and pop luncheonette called Foti's near my HS and we use to hang there two to three days a week for their Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese sandwich on a half Pizza Roll (there is another conversation piece that most outside of Jersey's Italian communities won't know).

I still long for them so good thing they carry it at my local supermarket.
Wife and I make them every other week or so for breakfast, on weekends. Just can't get the pizza bread.
When I first moved to Florida in '96, they didn't have it and had no clue what I was looking for when I asked.

Down in South Jersey/Philly area, it's only called Pork Roll. That and damn good! I remember the old CS thread too.

Those of us from the "Nork" or N. Jersey area don't even consider the part you are referring to as part of Jersey.:r

[Chingas]

Ahh. The age old battle between "what" to call it. When I was a kid I thought they were different being that I heard both names so frequently.

Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese

Pork Roll, Egg and Cheese

They both sound great and taste amazing...:banger

[Tredegar]

Here in Louisiana we use smoked pork jowls. Better than any bacon. I just used some in a 15 bean soup yesterday.

[MedicCook]

Pork Roll. Mmmmmmm

[Chingas]

Pork Roll. Mmmmmmm

You can say that again!:banger:banger

[MedicCook]

Add some of Alex's bbq sauce. :tu

[Chingas]

I like to slice em thick. Cut em like the iron cross. Cook em up on the griddle but only so they are warm/hot, not burnt. Then cook eggs using the grease and fat left over from the pork roll. Holy Crap that sounds good as hell right now!

I think, in Southern Jersey, Trenton, its called Pork Roll, which is also what's on the package. In northern parts of Jersey, it referred to as ham.

I grew up in Clifton, so it's ham to me.

I can't believe it. Over Christmas, I bought 3 rolls in Florida and then, left them in my Mom's refrigerator.

Next year...
