*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
