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
