It's a Philly thing.  It's like Canadian bacon but way more yummy.

I *think* it's some kind of deep fried pig skin.  That being said, I'm really not sure because there is no way in hell one of those is going near my mouth.

It's very yummy actually.  Almost like Canadian bacon, but tangier.

REOM

They are crispy like chips, but terribly greasy. They sell them in little bags like chips in bodegas in the city. When I taught there, all the teachers doing Atkins would eat them.

SERIOUSLY gross

REOM

Oh, and I can hook your inlaws up with the porkroll. LOL

minnasmommy

LOL!!!

Taylor HamFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia??(Redirected from?Pork roll)A 4-slice box of Taylor brand pork roll.Pork roll?is a type of?sausage-like meat product commonly available in and around?New Jersey. In?North Jersey?it is usually called?Taylor Ham.^[1]?The product was originally developed late in the 19th century by?John Taylor?of?Trenton, New Jersey, though several firms produce it today.Taylor originally called it "Taylor's Prepared Ham",?^[2]?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 tried to market 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.^[2]Although the product is widely consumed and enjoyed, it resists accurate description.^[1]?Some people compare the taste and/or texture to?SPAM,?Treet,?baloney, mild?salami, or US-style?Canadian bacon. In 1910 it was described as "a food article made of pork, packed in a cylindrical cotton sack or bag in such form that it could be quickly prepared for cooking by slicing without removal from the bag."^[2]Pork roll is generally sold in 1, 3, and 6 lb. unsliced rolls packed in cotton bag, as well as 6 oz. boxes containing 8 thin slices or 4 thick slices. It is also sold at?delicatessens,diners, lunch stands and?food trucks?in the region.Contents?[hide]1?Preparation2?Availability2.1?Brand names3?Popular culture4?References5?External links[edit]PreparationServing suggestion and Nutrition Facts from the back of a box of Taylor pork roll slices.The product is generally eaten sliced and pan-fried or grilled. A common practice is to slice four cuts from the outer edges inwards about 3/4 inch to an inch towards the center, evenly spaced around the circumference.^[3]?These cuts prevent the pork roll from curling up in the middle, which causes it to cook unevenly. With these cuts, the cooked slices have become known by many different names such as fireman's badges (due to the similarity to the?Maltese cross), pac-man meat, and notch meat.

Known as the 'Jersey Breakfast',^[4]?^[5]?^[6]?the Taylor Ham, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich is a staple of many delis, diners, and bakeries in New Jersey. Pork roll can also be used in many recipies.?^[7][8]?

You lost me at "sausage-like meat product." 

REOM

LOL minnas with the info!

I'm telling you, Gina's arms are made of porkroll. Yick, poor girlie.

So, minnas, are you going to be bedazzling your tapered jeans this weekend or frosting your bigass hair? hA

mabelanna

Yum, pork rinds with lime and chili. ?Delicious...

?

Definitely want to try this porkroll product. ?Swine is swell!?

babykin18

So yummy.  It was big when I was in NJ, they would fry pork roll and put it on a sandwich with egg and cheese.  I agree with pp, kind of a cross between canadian bacon and a hot dog.

minnasmommy

reom--I'm thinking it's time to get the bedazzler going! care to join me?

bubbs-- I cracked up at "meat product"! ?

PiperBride

Seriously, porkroll looks kind of awful and I lurve bacon and will eat pretty much anything that's 100% meat, depending on the cut.

Anyway, Bubbly, I think when you guys move out, you should order a case of porkroll from somewhere on the internet as a thank you present.

REOM

Piper- it's almost as delicious as peanut butter!

I am literally laughing at my fastass responses tonight

in NJ it's called Taylor Ham and it's GREAT.

Here in NJ a diner staple for breakfast is "Taylor Ham egg & cheese on a hard roll" and it's the best!!!!!

 

PiperBride

You keep saying what I'm thinking.  Don't stop, it's like we share a brain! 

*Lu-Lu*

It just sounds so dirty to me.
