That must be the thread I've been thinking of. I searched on multiple sites (not "the site that shall not be named") for a thread and then convinced myself that I made it all up.

For the record, I just had my second sandwich of the day.

You inspired me... I had eggs over-easy with a couple slices of pork roll. Delicious!

*Around me in S. Jersey we always referred to it as pork roll. It wasn't until I went to Rutgers NB for college that I heard it referred to by its brand name, Taylor.

It goes by all different names depending on where in the state you are.

Growing up in Clifton, we called it Taylor Ham. Out of the area, the trick is to find a place that sells Boar's Head products - they're the distributor.

Taylor Ham is the "brand name" porkroll, and in my mind, the best. A cheaper bacon alternative, it was the blue collar Egg Mcmuffin of yore. Traditional and satisfying as it was, i always found porkroll's bite a bit strong for breakfast and a delicate egg.

I find it best suited to be browned on the grill, topped with cheese, and dropped onto a hamburger. Beats the baconburger hands down - do try it!

(extra points for smoking the whole pork roll first...)

Mike, this is very true.. AKA. The "Jersey Burger"...
I try not to eat this combo often, as i like my arteries open, but every now and then, its soo worth it.. lol

I grew up eating Taylor Pork Roll sandwiches and there use to be a TPR restaurant on the boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland. Yum!

There still is one on the OC boardwalk in New Jersey . I've been loving pork roll as long as I can remember . There is also a less spicy version made by Taylor that is labeled as "Trenton Pork Roll" . Scrapple is just absolutely awful ! As for bad drivers here in my home state - Have you ever seen the way Pennsylvanians drive in Jersey ? That must be whats been witnessed . Unless you drive a Subaru , then you're just a target !

We see a lot of those baby-sh!t yellow plates up here, in a college town about a half-hour from Cooperstown. Usually shortly after seeing them I'm wishing I had the car from that old Spy Hunter video game...

Ditto. Always was just "pork roll". Always with cheese, always on a kaiser roll. Always delicious.

That stuff is delicious, but with the amount of fat and cholesterol it contains, it's a heart attack waiting to happen...
