Ot- just ordered 6 pounds of Taylor Ham, or is it pork roll!

- Start date
Listen to yourself. "It wasn't Taylor ham its was Taylor processed ham." That's illegal and I should be arrested.
Anybody know what the difference is between these two...
"MILD FLAVOR" ????

Trenton Pork Roll is a brand of pork roll made by Taylor Provisions. It is a little cheaper and milder than their Taylor Pork Roll.
There are other companies that make pork roll, like Thumann's and Case's. Personally, I like Case's hickory smoked pork roll best.
Taylors
Taylor's Prepared Ham. actually.
It's been labeled as Taylor's Pork Roll since 1906.
So yes, it's Pork Roll.
Now I'm going to drive my Datsun (Nissan) to the market and buy some Brad's Drink (now called Pepsi). Then I may lay down on the davenport and take a nap.

pork crap, and had a taste test and the Taylor has
a better flavor by far.
Taylor's better.. but Case doesn't suck.. hope Southern has a way to slice it up evenly so they cook evenly in the pan.
Love grits. Plain grits, grits with melted cheese, shrimp and grits, etc.
Good question. I think this is only the 2nd thread I have started on the subject, but I have commented many times on other threads regarding this subject. And there have been several!
You just gotta love the occasional Taylor Ham vs. Pork Roll thread!
Is it a Rutgers Taylor Ham flipper or a Rutgers Pork Roll flipper ? Southern,to be on the safe side,just buy two of these (plus our Athletic Department needs every penny)---
The one I currently use features the Razorback logo.
How do you cook your grits? Do you like them regular, creamy or al dente? What about instant grits?
Instant grits are for amateurs.
I like mine with Gouda cheese mixed in.
But I will eat them with just butter as well. Grits are obviously popular in the South, very similar in popularity
to home fries up North.
That could be the start of another OT, Home fries vs. grits!
Or hash browns!
I don't care what "they" called it. When I was a kid, it was Taylor ham. Period. Then, oddly, when I got older, my mom -- who ALWAYS had it in the house -- started calling it pork roll.
All I know is I believe there is one store in all of Las Vegas that sells it. They also sell Herr's and Tastykakes products, along with some Chicago brands. Yes, it's a great supermarket. Yes, I will move closer to it now that I know.

Ok so what have we learned in this thread about pork roll and Taylor Ham ?
My guess is what we've learned is that we will be having this discussion again in the near future.
But most seem to feel the same way they did at the start of the thread. Like politics and religion.

I don't know why but every time that movie is on cable
I record it then watch certain scenes over and over again.
I am glad we finally settled this debate. BTW there is no such thing as central jersey. There is only north and south.
North and South people are always trying to claim all the cool stuff in Central Jersey as their own, just stick to pretending to be NYC or Philly and leave the best part of NJ alone.
:sunglasses:
We're up in Cape Cod this week, stopped at a Portuguese bakery this morning and their breakfast sandwich is egg, cheese and Portuguese sausage called linguica, on a Portuguese roll, of course. The sausage is similar a bit to Pork Roll, slightly less salty, but with seasonings like paprika and garlic.
The 6 pounds arrived toda as promised!Taylor's better.. but Case doesn't suck.. hope Southern has a way to slice it up evenly so they cook evenly in the pan.
It will be sliced fairly thick and three cuts to the edges as I fry it up in the morning!
You are south of I-78 so Pork Roll.
I'm in conflict having lived on both sides of I-78, spanning both North and Central Jersey. The great Pork Roll dichotomy.
Shouldn't be "thick" or "thin".. just average.. like bologna.. this is a photo of Taylor's own pre-sliced pork roll in a pan.. enjoy that tangy pig! Pork roll egg and cheese.. try a toasted/buttered english muffin if good rolls are that hard to find.. mmmm mmmm
The cool kids know it as Taylor Ham. Try as you might to be cool but calling it pork roll won't get it done.Shouldn't be "thick" or "thin".. just average.. like bologna.. this is a photo of Taylor's own pre-sliced pork roll in a pan.. enjoy that tangy pig!

Taylor is the best no question. Case ??? Not so sure. It's OkTaylor's better.. but Case doesn't suck.. hope Southern has a way to slice it up evenly so they cook evenly in the pan.
I am definitely South of I-78. But Janice is originally from East Orange. Thus her affinity for Taylor ham.
Try it out.. a 2 pound unit as shown in my photo was $6.84 at the East Brunswick and Old Bridge Walmarts (newer ones with the big supermarkets in them).. it was in a stand-up refrigerated case near the other breakfast sausages. They also have the boxes of presliced Taylor Ham for $3.18.. mostly buy the Taylor.
Shop-Rite has a house brand they sell in tangy or regular... not sure who makes that for them.
I prefer one cut on the radius to the center.
This results in Pac-Man shaped slices after frying.
