New Jersey is home to the original Mystery Pork Parts Club (not Spam): Taylor Ham or Pork Roll.
The official sandwich of the Jersey Shore.
(And NOT that stupid fuckin' MTV bullshit)
The Taylor ham/pork roll, egg and cheese is probably New Jersey's most iconic sandwich, with delis around the state claiming they make the best or the biggest or the most famous. Nothing gets us (Ex-) Jerseyans going like the mention of Taylor ham or pork roll, even if it degenerates into a sophomoric debate over which is the proper term. For the zillionth time: All Taylor ham is pork roll, but not all pork roll is Taylor ham. The latter is a brand name. Don’t call it Taylor ham if it’s not Taylor ham.
THIS is Taylor Ham. Nothing else is.
