another food item with an equally stupid name: Egg Cream - contains no eggs

I went to an old time soda fountain place as a kid. Great malts, but the current issue teenagers had been issued an egg cream recipe that had eggs in it. It was an interesting half hour of trying to explain there would be no payment for something that was not only NOT an egg cream, but that was a health hazard and not legal to sell.

having grown up in NNJ my whole life (42 years) it's always been "taylor ham, egg & cheese" - never pork roll...

I'm seriously considering dumping my girlfriend because she calls TAYLORHAM pork roll

I will not touch this one, but if you were on Miataturbo.........

Some brothers wanna play that "hard" role

And tell you that the butt ain't gold

So they toss it and leave it

And I pull up quick to retrieve it

Same  here

 

It is just those guys that live down the shore that can't get it right.

Pr e c k fo s&p. on a soft roll. The fo's make the difference. In parris island the drill instructors made me promise to send them pork roll and tasty kakes. Its a jersey thing.

 

Fried onions you say?. Firehouse breakfast here I come

Jersey Boy Pro-Tip:

 

"Grilled Onions" is the universal term.

 

Once you get outside of commie land you might actually get onion rings if you ask for "fried onions." Even if you ask for "fried onions" on a burger.

fried/grilled/sauteed/cooked...whaaatevvaa

 

I hold my belief that I can pan fry onions in place of using the term saute or grill... One does not always prepare their onions on a grill do they? :D

Pork Roll is the only reason I still live in NJ.

Has anyone read the label. I just made sandwiches and it says John Taylors Pork Roll, so there can be no debate it's Pork Roll!!! Also every deli that I have been to labels the sandwiches PEC (pork roll egg and cheese)

It does exist

 

 

 

It's funny... I now recall my middle school cafeteria offering the Taylor product as the main lunch sandwich entree, but I never ate it (I always ordered off the "a la carte" menu).  IIRC, they called it "ham" but I never recognized it as such.

 

For me, "Taylor" was always a brand of "Smithfiield Va" ham produced during that period. Don't see them anymore, though. Perhaps they were bought out by a different farm or something.

 

Sadly, I can't do processed meats like I used to (loved different Salamis). But I do BBQ every time I get to Fl. I have a favorite place there.

That, and good NY Deli Pastrami.

Right, but the original name was "Taylor Prepared Ham" hence Taylor Ham. Like PNC Arts Center was formally known as Garden State Arts Center...People will still call it GSAC, not PNC lol.

ypu guys should try some taylor ham on a cheeseburger.....

We call that a "Jersey Burger" here...
