Do you call it Taylor Ham or Pork Roll?

[LordJezo]

Which one?

And where do you live?

[Death Metal Moe]

Taylor Ham all the way baby.  This stuff is so good it made cheat on bacon with it on more than a few occasions.

It's so strange you bring this up.&nbsp; I'm from NYC and I had never once in my life&nbsp;heard of this stuff till a few months ago, when my girlfriend, who's from Jersey, asked me to pick her up a taylor ham, egg and cheese bagel.&nbsp; Goddamn its addictive too.&nbsp; Taylor ham is all I've ever heard it called, that's my delicious vote.

<p>That's a good point and I guess why LordJezo included the &quot;What are you talking about?&quot; option in his poll.&nbsp; Not everyone has this magical meat in their area.</p><p>I was working in an area around South Monsey, NY and I stopped in a local store to get a Taylor Ham, Egg and cheese sandwich.&nbsp; They told me they didn't have any.&nbsp; I thought they were joking, but then he said again that they don't have it.&nbsp; I wanted to burn the fucking place to the ground, come back and fry taylor ham on the burning ruins of the place then wait a couple hours and drop the digested remains of it on the spot.&nbsp; Some places just don't carry it, and it seems somewhat reigonal. </p><p>The regions not have it being the gay ones.</p>

<p>I used to call it Pork Roll. Lately though all the menus I see it on call it Taylor Ham, so I've become accustomed to calling it that now. </p>

[BeerBandit]

Absolutely Taylor Ham.&nbsp; One of the most mind-boggling things that
I've struggled with in this crazy world, is how something this good,
has been around for so long, and you just about can't get it anywhere
but Jersey.&nbsp; I never thought I'd say this, but thank the powers
that be that I was born in the Garden State.<br />

<font style="font-size: 9px" face="Verdana">quote: </font>it's called taylor ham, it shouldn't even be up for debate. <br />Agreed. wheni lived in NYC, once night walking home drunk from 37th&amp;3rd to 12th&amp;3rd I stopped in every store asking for taylor ham and cheese or pork roll and cheese and no one had the slightest clue what I was talking about. It is not only a great breakfast, but a great late night snack. I would rank it top 5 best things to eat.

I only heard about Taylor ham on this board, and saw they had it in Shoprite in Plainview, so I bought it and tried it pan fried and it was very good. But I still prefer well done bacon over it. But its a different taste.

I tried it up here in CT a few weeks ago because of this board. I think they sliced it too thin because it didnt look like the picture on the first page. And it didnt help that when I asked for a "Taylor Ham egg & cheese" they kept going wha? huh? until I pointed to the sign on the wall that said "WE NOW HAVE TAYLOR HAM!"

this cracked me up cause i live in monsey (almost). it is all hasidic jews and trying to find pork there is liketrying to find a nazi prison guard there giving away money.

And I usually call it pork roll, even though on most menus its taylor ham. pork roll sounds greasier

Taylor ham

[mtbeedee]

Taylor is the company that makes pork roll. Therefore "pork roll" is the correct answer. Calling it Taylor ham is like calling crescent rolls "Pillsburys flour". Ham being the main ingredient of pork roll and flour being the main ingredient of crescent rolls.

It's so strange you bring this up.

Goddamn its addictive too. Taylor ham is all I've ever heard it called, that's my delicious vote.

I only heard of it since I started working in Jersey, then when I moved to NJ (Middlesex County) I saw it in the store and picked some up for myself.

I call it Pork Roll. I see no point in calling it Taylor Ham since it's a brand name pork roll, Taylor ham is a brand of Pork Roll.

Not the same at all.

I've had bologna and I've had Taylor ham and fried bologna is NOT the same as fried Taylor ham.

Taylor ham has a kind of a sour-tangy taste to it while bologna is bland and kinda tastes like hot dogs. The difference is more like sourdough bread when compared to white bread.

BTW, seeing as how you don't like most meat products anyway, I'm not surprised that you weren't struck with the sudden craving of the Taylor ham that those of us who enjoy it are.

And to the poster who commented about calling pork roll "Taylor ham" being the same as calling Pillsbury biscuits "Pillsbury flour" it's not the same because #1-Pillsbury also markets its own flour and #2-it's actually more equivalent to calling any soda "Coke" or tissues "Kleenex" or even tampons "Tampax" ... the brand name is what you're identifying with the product, regardless of the branding.

I think my problem is that I tend to compare bologna to what I know as Leberkaese from back home... it just never really tastes that way here.... so what I compare may actually taste a lot more like it.

[PapaBear]

I was in the mood for bacon and egg sandwiches tonight. When I went to get some bacon, I decided to go ahead and try Taylor Ham for the first time, instead. Ehhh... It was OK. But next time I'm getting the bacon.

[Space Edge]

The whole Taylor Ham/Pork Roll thing confuses me. I grew up in Rockland County NY, right on the NJ border and it's not something you would eat in that area. I know it's mostly a Jersey thing but I grew up so close to Jersey you would think it would have bled over. Where I lived for breakfast sandwiches we either got Bacon Egg and Cheese or Ham, Egg and Cheese or Sausage, Egg and Cheese.

[PapaBear]

The reason I'm able to get it here is because of the grocery chain I go to. It's PA based, so it has lots of PA/NJ type regional foods. They also have the scrapple that Ron likes and some very good steaks for making cheese steaks.

I just looked up Scrapple and I want to vomit.

Taylor ham is great. Sometimes I cant decide between bacon or taylor ham. I refuse to eat HAM unless its got Taylor in front of it in the morning. HAM is for a cold sub not to be cooked, IMO!

The problem is, Taylor Ham is not ham. Ham comes from the "ham" of a pig (the thigh). I don't think the pork that Taylor uses comes from the ham section of the pig.

A) Why the confusion? Doesn't it say "Taylor Pork Roll" on the package?

I was interested in trying it, but just read it's like a cross between Canadian bacon and spam. Wish I hadn't read that. It's apparently made by different companies, of which Taylor is one. That's a northern jersey name.
