You can order it on-line..it's expensive but if you're jonesen..it's worth it

Born in Newark here and always knew it as Taylor ham. Moved down the shore and somewhere along the line started calling it pork roll. Call it what you want, it's goooooooooood and bring me some!!!

LCG <---now in Knoxville, TN and Taylor ham-less

I am sure there is, I seem to recall it being ordered at the deli counter and sliced...... but maybe that was just a big tube of the same stuff as you buy pre sliced in the vaccum packs in the store..... Well anyway, always Taylor Ham, no matter what the label says.

FWIW, this has been one of the things that I really miss in NC, cant find it anywhere in stores (along with no jumbo sized english muffins.... or really any decent baked goods). Whenever I have been up north by car, I always buy several packages of TH to bring back with me. Am looking forwards to it again being a personal dietary staple.

I live in NC too, there have only been 2 places near me that sell it. 1 sandwich joint in Goldsboro called Five Star and luckily they sell it by the roll and the other place is in Wilson at Harris Teeter. They sell it by the slices. Hopefully you get your fix for Taylor ham!

I have always called it Pork-Roll, but sometimes lately I will say Taylor Ham.
(sometimes if you are talking to someone and say Pork-Roll, they are like WHAT?)
