.... ” 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. "
 

Careful.... we just may be showing our age. [emoji23]

What the fuck is Taylor Ham?

It’s that stuff that looks and tastes like a pork roll. As someone who grew up in South Orange (but long gone)...we called in Taylor Ham! Welcome to the forum and the getting harder to live here everyday state of NJ.

We shouldn't be so hard on hartsfw because he can't read the package which he serves. Sorry.

Welcome aboard. You'll fit in just fine.

And don't mind those boys from south jersey, they are....special. Bless their little hearts.

 

Taylor Ham forever.

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.

You guys and gals are ridiculous. 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.

Taylor originally called his product "Taylor's Prepared Ham", but was forced to change the name after it failed to meet the new legal definition of "ham" established by the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.

I'm pretty sure it also fails to meet the legal definitions of 'meat', and possibly 'food'.

Yes, this is true..

Trying to teach these youngsters something about history gets really tiresome. They should learn from their elders!

Close Thread.

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.

Spiced ham is better than Spam....

Welcome!

Please try the meatloaf 

 

See I told you there was plenty of culture on this forum.  

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.
