Bread and pizza are better in NJ because of the water.

Thats funny. I have to admit though when someone told me to use a "round about" I had no clue either and got lost. |

I wouldn't know what a "round about" is. |

Well, I do know what a roundabout is.  But, I have no clue what a "jug handle" is.  |

It's a "U turn". Instead of turning from the left or middle lane, you turn around by going around a semi-circle onto a side street so you can cross the highway. It got it's name because it looks like a "jug handle". |

Another thing I had to get used to not having were french fries with malt vinegar on them.
I also had to get used to not being able to get fresh fish right off the party boats.

No problem. I find them safer and easier to use than trying to make a U turn from the center lane. |

I am able to get pork roll here. I make it quite often but miss the hard rolls. They also have a Jersey Mikes Sub and he makes it once in awhile. If your from the Jersey Shore then you must know about schikhaus hot dogs. They have them at the Windmill and Maxx's Hot Dogs, Keansburg Board Walk thats one of the things I crave. I can't get a good hot dog here at all. |
