Pork Roll?
 

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?

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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

Re: Pork Roll?
 

Yes please. :D

Kaiser roll, fried egg and cheese.

Re: Pork Roll?
 

Taylor Ham is a Jersey thing ;)

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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.

Re: Pork Roll?
 

Ummmmm....try an over lite egg....something about runny yolk and pork roll....man that's good eats!!

Re: Pork Roll?
 

Mmmmmmmmmmm. Pork Roll! Sorry Brent. ;s

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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


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

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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

Re: Pork Roll?
 

You truly don't KNOW until you try.

Addy please.................................

Re: Pork Roll?
 

All right, All right... I have been here long enough to know that I should not push you around. PM inbound.

Thattaboy!:tu

Re: Pork Roll?
 

We had that when I was a kid in LA...it was called Luncheon Meat, haha. Bit's and pieces, parts is parts.

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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.

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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.

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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

Re: Pork Roll?
 

Funny...we feel the same way about "yous guys". :D :r

Re: Pork Roll?
 

It's definitely pork roll. Now go get a haircut and find your own beach!




j/k

Re: Pork Roll?
 

It's Taylor Ham, get back to your farm! :D



j/k :r

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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

Re: Pork Roll?
 

Pork Roll. Mmmmmmm

Re: Pork Roll?
 

You can say that again!:banger:banger

Re: Pork Roll?
 

Add some of Alex's bbq sauce. :tu

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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!

Re: Pork Roll?
 

Now I am getting hungry.

Re: Pork Roll?
 

;s Me too and I'm on a diet. No Good.:td

Re: Pork Roll?
 

I want to go on the pork roll diet.

Re: Pork Roll?
 

I can't wait to try mine out! Gonna be tasty!

Re: Pork Roll?
 

:r:r:r Enjoy it Brother!:tu

Re: Pork Roll?
 

Chingas.... how about we do a Meat & Sticks Trade?
You send me a Pork Roll & some Ramon's... and i'll hook
you up with something you can only find here in the deep
south!:tu (And some sticks of course!)

Come to think of it, i have just the thing in Mind!:r:banger

Re: Pork Roll?
 

Had a pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich for lunch. Pretty damn good!

Re: Pork Roll?
 

I believe I'm gonna have to order one of these it looks to good to pass up

Re: Pork Roll?
 

We dont have anything good like this in Cali

Re: Pork Roll?
 

Moon Pies?

Re: Pork Roll?
 

We have Moon Pies in Jersey. Thanks to Wal-Mart and 7-11.

And it's Taylor Ham guys, c'mon, get it right ;):tu:r

Re: Pork Roll?
 

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...
