Maybe they came to their senses? I add that the current packaging notes it’s packaged in Trenton, hence, in Trenton, it’s Pork Roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newarkcupparade Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Team Taylor ham. People who call it pork roll on the regular are probably fans of Case's. I'm not passing judgement...but they're wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pork roll. It's always been pork roll. When I buy it from a local butcher it is especially pork roll, because the Taylor company didn't have anything to do with making it. It's like the difference between calling a tissue a "Kleenex" or a bandage a "Band-Aid". At some point something that is popular takes on the popular brand's name as the object name. In this case it is PORK ROLL, made by the company Taylor--or whatever that guy named it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 I spent significant time at the Jersey Shore in my younger days, and down there, it was pork roll. So if it’s pork roll on the Jersey Shore, and in Trenton, and in North Jersey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I tell you that you’re wrong, it’s nothing personal, I’m not judging you, you can call it whatever you want because quite frankly I’m tired of having this argument with people- but you’re wrong. I’ve lived in North Jersey my entire 40 years. I’ve never once- not ONCE- ever heard it called pork roll up here, ever. I don’t call it that, no one I know up here calls it that, no one I’ve ever met (except you and MB3 now) calls it that, and I’ve never been to any eating establishment here that calls it that. So if you’re from up here and you call it pork roll, you’re in the vast, VAST minority. That’s not speculation, it’s not my opinion, it’s a straight fact homie.

While "Taylor" is a brand of pork roll, in regions of North Jersey all brands of pork roll may be referred to colloquially as "Taylor Ham" due to the first production of pork roll being branded Taylor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylbert Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) They weren’t allowed to call it ham anymore because it didn’t meet the definition of ham from the Pure Food and Drug act of 1906.

Hence, Taylor’s Pork Roll That's interesting didn't know that thanks. Everyone here actually calls it Taylor Ham still in Camden County. I call it pork roll but I love the name Taylor Ham. I mean hell I see more Taylor Boxes a day then probably everyone on this forum has in their entire life put together. I'm now sick of pork roll😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork John played against men, but the consensus is Hall Roll is the better all-around prospect. He just needs to eat some Taylor Ham and hit the weight room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got into a twitter argument with Tim Pinachio (sp?) that he was going to shore in No.Jersey. (Long Branch I think.) I told him, that's Monmouth Co. not No. jersey by any stretch. He didn't accept my side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
