The Pork roll (Taylor ham), Egg, And Cheese is New Jersey's most iconic sandwich

I have seldom eaten the Taylor Ham but it was very popular with my mother’s generation. They even had a exhibit at the New York Worlds Fair in 64/65.
“Pork roll is a processed meat commonly available in New Jersey and neighboring states. It was developed in 1856 by John Taylor of Trenton, and sold as "Taylor's Prepared Ham" until 1906. Though since then food labeling regulations require Taylor and all other manufacturers to label it "pork roll", people in northern New Jersey still refer to it as "Taylor ham".
The "Is it pork roll or Taylor ham?" question is a notable element of New Jersey culture, and the division over what name one uses divides the state along roughly north–south geographic regions.
A 2016 reader poll including more than 70,000 respondents from all 565 municipalities across New Jersey found that the dividing line straddled the Union–Middlesex county border in the east and followed Interstate 78 through the middle of Somerset and Hunterdon counties in the west.”
Forewarned to me by a friend.
Interesting story...Signs caught my eye, but did not partake of this. However, went to lunch with Jersey friends the next day, and they had me taste the famous NJ non-chocolate pork roll. It was pretty good! Not certain about going back for the chocolate one, though LOL!

The thing that causes the most division between North and South in New Jersey, the bone of contention that people will fight to the death over, is whether to call a particular processed pork product Taylor Ham (North) or Pork Roll (South). This store on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights is having it both ways. The "Freaking" is kind of a cop out, though, a pale imitation of the official State Adjective.
I shot this mainly for my northern NJ born wife, who will insist to her deathbed that it's Taylor Ham. Me, I'm agnostic. Not only do I live in Central New Jersey, but I'm the child of vegetarians. I've never consumed that processed pork product in my life.

True Salvage Cafe's Taylor ham, egg and cheese on a Balthazar roll was picked by NJ.com as as one of the 33 best representations of the state breakfast sandwich, and one of the "50 dishes you need to eat in NJ in 2020."
The Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese sandwich is the quintessential New Jersey breakfast made with pork roll, a salty pork-based processed meat product. Pork roll was developed in 1856 by John Taylor of Hamilton Square, New Jersey, and originally sold as "Taylor's Prepared Ham." Based on subsequent food labeling regulations established by the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, it failed to meet the new definition of ham and was instead marketed as Pork Roll. Although other producers manufacture pork roll under their own names, in Northern Jersey, it is often colloquially referred to a Taylor Ham regardless.

Town Hall Deli first opened in 1927 on South Orange Avenue, a few doors away from the actual Town Hall. Town Hall deli has relocated three times since opening--first to its most commonly known location, the brick building at 18 South Orange Avenue, in 1940. After being sold to its current owner, Tony Wonski, it relocated to Valley Street and then in 2013 to its current location at 74 1st Street.
I made the Bean mixture on Thursday afternoon. (when I made our Pearl Couscous and veggies). I cooked up two cups of Long grain rice with two Knorr Chicken Caldo bouillon. We had the Beans & Rice for dinner on Friday, and we had more Beans & Rice on Saturday for lunch and dinner.

Banh mi trung chien -- the Vietnamese street food breakfast. It's a baguette sandwich with fried egg, processed cheese, tomatoes, and fresh herbs with a sprinkling of Maggi sauce. It kills an Egg McMuffin! (Brian K. Smith photo.)

The Jersey Special: Taylor Ham (Pork Roll), American Cheese, 2 Fried Eggs, and Home Fried Potatoes on a Kaiser Roll.
Taylor Ham
John Taylor (October 6, 1836 – February 10, 1909) was an American businessman and politician who served in the New Jersey Senate. He formed Taylor Provisions Company and created Taylor Ham. He also founded the Taylor Opera House in Trenton, New Jersey. Taylor Street in Trenton is also named for him.
Pork Roll is a type of breakfast meat commonly available in and around New Jersey and select areas of Philadelphia. The product, as it is made today, was developed in 1856 by John Taylor of Trenton, New Jersey, though several firms produce their own versions.
A similar product, packed minced ham, may have been produced at the time of the Battle of Trenton.
Taylor kept the recipe for the product he created in 1856 secret. George Washington Case, a farmer and butcher from nearby Belle Mead, New Jersey, created his own recipe for pork roll in 1870. Case's was reportedly packaged in cornhusks.
Taylor originally called his product "Taylor's Prepared Ham", but was forced to change the name after the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 was passed, since the product did not meet the new legal definition of "ham". The new name was "Pork Roll" and it was marketed as both "Taylor's Pork Roll" and "Trenton Pork Roll". Competitors marketed products with similar names like "Rolled Pork" and "Trenton style Pork Roll" and were sued by Taylor. A 1910 legal case ruled that the words "Pork Roll" could not be trademarked.
The pork roll was amazing! It looked like everyone had either a pork roll or a beef roll on their tables. So, we had to order. And I am so glad we decided on the pork. Beef rolls are good, but they have the tendency to be smothered in hoisin and overly sweet. The pork was perfect! Just enough sweetness, lots of green onion, a bit of cilantro. DELICIOUS! And it's freakin' huge!
Delicious miniature versions of the famous vietnamese pork rolls. They'd be fantastic for parties. For more recipes and pics go to www.cookbookmaniac.com

Apparently good Bánh mì / Vietnamese pork roll, but what I got was a rather Westernised version, with lettuce, tomato and carrot, not pickled carrot, and no liver pate! It did come with coriander, fresh chilli, and fish sauce though.

Seriously, this is actually a contest! You throw a tennis ball from your area to the pork roll and I guess if you hit him, you win? I don't know, ha ha. It was bizarre, but really funny to see that doofy looking pork roll standing out there with the silly grin on it's face.
This is cropped because I did not have much of a zoom lens with me and the action was otherwise lost from that distance. Except for the crop, this is SOOC, like all the others in the set.

Tomatoes are beginning to be in season and I love them on so many things. While probably not the traditional way to enjoy pork roll, I add a thin slice just because.
Sorry for the food overload this time.
Jim's Burger Haven is a Bayshore institution. It was once a car hop place. Now it is a local fast food restaurant. It's a little run down, but Nick and Charlotte still manage to serve up one of the best burgers and pork roll sandwiches around.

Well known for it's Bánh mì / Vietnamese pork roll. Everyone seemed to be getting the the grilled pork roll, so I followed. While the grilled pork had a nice smoky flavour on the grill, it lacked the silky mouthfeel of the liver pate in the regular pork roll.
I think I prefer the original pork roll with cold cuts and liver pate.

Couldn't resist a little street shooting whenever we went into the city (a.k.a. the CBD, or "downtown" as we North Americans call it). Central Sydney is a great mix of old and new architecture, with a lively core at seemingly all times of the day.
