Beat me to it! Love me some Pork Roll!

Yes, because everyone orders a pork roll, egg, and cheese on a roll with salt, pepper, and ketchup... ::

The perfect breakfast sandwich

Its funny, I had never heard of the term Taylor Ham until the mid 90's when I worked with a guy from the Patterson area.  A few of us were getting ready to order breakfast sandwiches and he said he wanted his with Taylor Ham.  We looked at him and said you mean Taylor Pork Roll?  He said, it's called Taylor Ham. Then one of the guys said "It must be a North Jersey thing". LOL   Whatever the term used, it's good stuff.

On another note, in 2004 my wife and I had taken our first trip to Tennessee and I was checking in at the motel desk.  When the girl behind the desk found out that we were from New Jersey, she made the comment "You're from NJ?....The land of pork roll"  So, even she called it pork roll.  First time I ever heard that also.

What state was that in? Our Paterson has 1 "T" and it's TAYLOR HAM!!!!!

The order screen at Quick Check says Taylor Ham. So I claim that's the correct way to order it! Maybe WaWa's deli order screen says Pork Roll? I wouldn't know because there are no WaWa's anywhere near me.

EXACTLY. Us northern folks prefer quality. Not some off brand "ham roll" or whatever you yahoos call it.

Taylor Ham, Kleenex, Q-Tips for life!

Hunterdon is not south jersey and its pork roll here in Hunterdon.

I was in Virginia once , and ordered Taylor Ham on a roll ,  the waitress brought out ham on a roll,  I looked at  it and said, no Taylor Ham, you know cooked ....She returned a few minutes with the ham cooked....I gave up.    I now call it Pork Roll....its universal.

^^^ yup I was at a diner on long island and my buddy ordered a Taylor ham egg and cheese and the waitress had no clue what he wanted. I laughed and told her that he was "special" and he wanted a pork roll egg and cheese and she laughed and said "well why didn't he just say so"

There used to be a brand of "Smithfield Virginia" ham called "Taylor."  Back when I was a kid. Don't see them anymore.

This is not me lol.

im surprised people outside of jersey even know what PR is..  I cant say that I have seen it many places on a menu outside of NJ..  in fact, i had never even heard of it til i moved here

It ain't nuthin' but round Spam!!!  If you're not in NJ...just order a spam, egg and cheese and it'll taste exactly the same.

Heresy! Pork roll is the same as Spam in the same way that Canadian bacon is the same as legitimate bacon.

Tastes the same.

 

 

This is my signature. There are many like it but this one is mine.

I was wrong my local quick check order screen says pork roll.. must have been programmed in south Jersey.
