Pork Roll or Taylor Ham?
I know we have been down this road before but I just saw these sitting next to each other at the grocery store. People outside of the Northeast may not be familiar with it.
Figured I might have some fun and fire up some THT folks up to see if they called it Pork Roll or Taylor Ham. It’s probably not as divisive as politics but depending where you lived you could have some strong feelings one way or the other.
My feeling was Taylor Ham was the brand and Pork Roll was the product.
I’ve always been on Team Pork Roll. Nothing like a Pork Roll, egg and cheese on a hard roll (Kaiser). FYI, I grew up in Central NJ in the area where Case Pork Roll was made (Trenton, NJ) so maybe that influenced my loyalty.
Mind you it isn’t the most healthy food choice, but it’s labeled Gluten Free.
Go ahead THT... sound off.

When I was a kid (6th or 7th grade) a friends parents used to go to the Ocean City, NJ boardwalk to square dance once a month. They used to bring me along to keep my bud company while they were in dancing (yeah, pretty funny even then). There on the boardwalk was a Taylor store! They sold Taylor PORK ROLL on a burger bun (if I remember correctly) for 10¢ with cheese 15¢
The admiral still makes them for dinner sometimes when she don't feel like cooking, and I still eat two at a sitting!

Every Sunday my parents would make that crap for us. Slice it then cut 4- 1” relief cuts on the outer edge so when it shrinks during cooking it doesn’t turn into a dome. Melt some American cheese on it, take out of the frying pan to paper towels and remove some of the grease then put it on a English muffin bun to make a sandwich.
Im pretty sure if somebody made it for me now I would throw up.
In Philly it’s Taylor’s Pork Roll.

You're exactly right. Taylor Ham is a brand, pork roll is the product, and nobody outside of Jersey cares.

I mean it's not scrapple, but I'll enjoy it on a breakfast sammy.
