bhunted 887 Posted August 16, 2018 .... ” It was originally called “Taylor Ham” and although the name was changed in 1906 many of us in North Jersey still call it simply, “Taylor Ham.” Think of it as Kleenex is to tissues, Taylor Ham is to Pork Roll.

As someone who grew up in South Orange (but long gone)...we called in Taylor Ham!

hartsfw 6 Posted August 17, 2018 Damn, I figured something gun related would be the thing that I did that pissed everyone off... but instead it's meat... I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually work at a Deli in South Orange so I am very familiar with the Taylor Ham vs. Pork Roll contoversy. Also @Mrs. Peel thanks for letting me know about the shooting contests and such! I'm looking forward to being more involved soon! Be careful not to call anything a contest or match, no one will show up. 24 minutes ago, hartsfw said: Damn, I figured something gun related would be the thing that I did that pissed everyone off... but instead it's meat...

I'm pretty sure it also fails to meet the legal definitions of 'meat', and possibly 'food'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If anyone thinks that's an actual "original" container, they're wrong. That's fake - It was never "Taylor Ham" - it was "Taylor's Prepared Ham". That is an image that showed up on TAPinto.net which is mostly north jersey "independent" news outlets, and it was from a discussion page - not official info. This is the oldest picture/ad I've seen. Definitely much plainer packaging. Taylor logo looks correct too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJSigfan 218 Posted August 18, 2018 Being 45 and growing up in Maplewood / South Orange I learned it as Taylor Ham...as in Taylor ham, eggs and cheese. Then I educated myself when I moved to Somerset / hunterdon county...it’s now pork roll as in pork roll, eggs and cheese. Now teaching my kids that it’s pork roll...or they can make their own breakfast. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
