Pork roll
Pork roll
Depending on your geography, you might feel very strongly that this is called Taylor ham
Taylor Ham is a brand of pork roll. It's like people who call every soda a Coke.
It was called ham until the government said it can’t legally be labeled as ham a century ago. Shit is delicious and the thinner the better, imo.
There are so many of these brand name products that become the name for the entire category.
Kleenex: Often used to refer to any facial tissue
Band-Aid: Commonly used to refer to any adhesive bandage.
Xerox: Used as a verb meaning to photocopy
Velcro: Refers to hook-and-loop fasteners in general.
Thermos: Used to refer to any vacuum flask or insulated bottle.
Dumpster: Originally a brand name for large trash receptacles, now used generically for any large waste container.
Q-tips: Refers to cotton swabs in general.
Frisbee: A term used to describe any flying disc.
Jacuzzi: Often used to refer to any hot tub or whirlpool bath.
ChapStick: Used generically for any lip balm.

Pork roll, egg, and cheese on a kaiser bun
Kaisers are great but an egg everything bagel… 🤌
If you please
Uh, where can I purchase this utterly delicious looking meat product? (In Massachusetts preferably)
It’s $67 for an 8 pack of Taylor Pork Roll on Amazon. I’m not $67 interested in trying it lol
Drive 3 to 6 hrs south (depending where you are, maximum assuming you live in P-town) to a decent state and ask for a Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese with saltpepperketchup (that's one word) in most any small bagel shop.
Diners in NJ, NY, and PA mostly
Not Connecticut. I've been here a looong time and I've never heard of this.
It's pork roll, so I'm delighted with this post. I personally find it a bit salty, but pork roll, egg, and cheese on a bagel is nice.
That's Taylor fucking Ham you cretin!
I first heard about pork roll at a Trenton Thunder game where it's a big deal. I ended up trying a pork roll sandwich and enjoyed it. It's one of those things I wouldn't eat all the time but I still get the sandwich every time I'm at a Thunder game (which is usually once a year).
Kaiser Wilhelm approves.
Isn't it just bologna?
I'm no expert so I couldn't say, but I think in some parts of NJ that would be considered fighting words
