Hi, just joined after lurking for a couple of years. I'm a retired EE. I've been target shooting pistol since 2015 and have recently started up with rifles (Savage .22 and Henry side-gate 30-30). Fun stuff. I'm a member at South Jersey Shooting Club in Winslow but these days I mostly go to Telco Sportsmens in Atco, which is much closer to where I live. Fine folks at both clubs--gun people are the best, friendly and polite. Wish I'd gotten into this sport sooner! BTW my real name is Joe but I'm not quite as hairless as my avatar is.

Welcome!

Well, you know barbers are like surgeons, they love to cut. But we've come to an agreement now that he has to stop before I become too recognizable.

Bacon truly is the best vegetable!

@Mrs. Peel is triggered 

Bacon is Nature's Most Perfect Food.

And beer is a vegetable.

I am for a well-balanced diet, and encourage everyone to drink their vegetables.

Ok now Taylor ham or pork roll 

Well since you insist, I don't eat it all that much. The wife is a great fan though. She's a Taylor Pork Roll lady.

The notion of Taylor Ham is alien to us, but we subscribe to a live and let live policy in nearly all situations.

He’s out!

I knew it.

I agree, Key part, "nearly all situations" 

Also Welcome 

Howdy newbie! Welcome to the forum. 

Pork roll ftw, I’m also from Marlton and no one calls it Taylor Ham down here!  I’m doing some investigating I didn’t know it was called Taylor Han first but because it wasn’t recognizable enough as Ham that legally couldn’t use that name anymore so changed it to Pork Roll.

The notion that pork roll was ever called "Taylor Ham" is an urban legend.

Next thing is they'll try to tell us that Spam is "Hormel Ham". I'm not sure that anyone really knows what Spam is, but I have a hard time believing it is, or ever was, ham. After all, have you ever seen a rectangular pig?

Funny...back in my Navy days, we used to call it ‘square pig’

Welcome!

From what I read pork roll was created in 1856 but the Taylor company wasn’t created until 1888. By 1894 they were grossing $200k per year and in 1906 they had to change the name from “Taylor’s Prepared Ham” to “Taylor’s Pork Roll” as the product didn’t meet the new legal definition of “ham” established by the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. And yes for some reason ham was put into quotation marks.
