You can also go to just about any diner and ask for a pork roll egg and cheese sammich. Be prepared to be asked a major question. "salt pepper ketchup?" aka SPK.

High Exposure 5,635 Posted November 6, 2021 First of all, show some respect. It is: Pork Roll Second, go out and get one at a local place that knows how to make it on a hard roll with SPK the first time. That’s the classic NJ PREC. If you are shopping for it to make yourself, or if you have a choice, get Taylor brand Pork Roll as a baseline. Experiment with the other brands from there. Note: It is also very good on an Everything Bagel. When I am at home and making it for myself, I like to use a Thomas’ English Muffin and sunny side up eggs. I have stopped using Ketchup and just use pepper and a little bit of salt now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, whatever, you know what I mean. You have to try it on the king size muffins. It's more, I dunno, more gooder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,635 Posted November 7, 2021 I have. I prefer the regular smaller ones. The diameter of the Pork Roll = the Diameter of the standard muffin. Perfect amount of Pork Roll in every bite all the way around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've used American (good), Swiss (gross), Munster (good), Cheddar (okay), even Brie, but never Provolone. Which is odd since I am Italian. btw, smoked brie on PEC is the cat's ass.

Krdshrk 3,872 Posted November 17, 2021 Provolone wasn't bad. It definitely added to the buttery flavor that I had from the butter on the toast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
