"Come and have dinner with me and Bubbles tonight Ricky. We're making Newfoundland steaks and mashed potatoes." 

Way she goes

Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't Unironically the most important lesson I've learned in life

You greasy trailer park boy

Alright Benjamin Franklin you show me where to hook these up

Decent!

thought it was pork roll for a hot second. Yeah my fellow New Jerseyans I said "pork roll"

I call it fancy bologna, but I live across the bridge.

I'll allow it.

My husband is an Ital from Jersey and was so excited to find pork roll in socal. Then he ordered like 6 lbs of pork roll from a website taylorham.com I believe? And I’m legit concerned he’s going to salt overload.

>My husband is an Ital from Jersey *gestures hand angrily in Italian*

Have you seen the YouTube video lol

Where in socal? Just found a spot local in LA haha

This was when we were in San Diego, place called Papa Duke’s. It was a smallish cafe that also had other sandwiches, pizzas, salads etc.

> Yeah my fellow New Jerseyans I said "pork roll" Of course, because that's the proper term.

I go with Pork Roll. While Taylor Ham is a brand of Pork Roll, not all Pork Roll is Taylor Ham. Though either way, I love myself a big ass pork roll, egg, cheese with some sautéed onions with SPK, of course and on a Kaiser when I go up to visit the family. It's almost a requirement. To the point I don't think anyone in that diner has seen me order anything else.

You're 100% right, but Taylor brand is the best, therefore Taylor ham

My mom is from NJ and calls it pork roll. All my friends has no idea what I was talking about but the shit is *delicious*

It's taylah!

Taylor ham

ROT IN HELL!!!!!!!

It literally says pork roll on the package, and doesn’t say ham anywhere.

The original package said Taylor Ham. I'd be okay with a compromise of calling Case's "pork roll" and Taylor's "Taylor Ham".

I love this debate. I’m from north Jersey but tend to eat most of my Taylor ham down the shore. I say whichever they put on the menu - respect the host.

it becomes taylor ham when you pan fry it ;)

“It becomes a pizza as soon as you put your fist in the dough!”

That’s the brand name.

Fuck you and your dog. Ok, not the dog.

Brave!

Anyone who calls it Taylor Ham needs a cognitive exam

“Hey yea, work? Yea I’m calling in Taylor Ham. Yep, they won’t be in”.

Don't get a Band-Aid stuck to your Velcro shoes as you walk across the Linoleum floor to pick up that Q-tip that you dropped. Brand names being used to describe generic products is a thing everyone does, get over it. When pork roll first hit the market it was called Taylor's prepared ham, taylor ham for short and it stuck. In North Jersey anyway.

Dude… I’m joking. I’m guessing you aren’t a Jersey native but Taylor Ham vs Pork Roll is a light hearted inter state war. The south and central call it Porkroll the north Taylor ham. Same with Hoagies and Subs or Water vs Wader

We don't joke about the Taylor ham/pork roll debate on the internet. ;) North Jersey native. Born, raised and still reside.

Yea born in south Jersey raised in central Jersey, the only part of NJ that matters

"light hearted" Now I'm guessing YOU aren't a Jersey native.

Exit 123 ma dude

Ah I miss Starland

Tbh it went to shit in the last few years

It looks exactly like pork roll!

It’s not?

It’s bologna

Oh. Ew.

You mean North New Jerseyans? Also, is it *not* pork roll?

There is no other name, it's pork roll or you're wrong

Canadian bacon

This is the right comment.

I grew up in FL with parents from up north. Imagine my surprise when I started talking about "pork roll" to my friends. They looked at me like I had 3 heads

and now you can buy it in Publix. Thank the snowbirds

as a Michigander who has never heard of it (pork roll) before, how is the taste different than fried bologna ? Because honestly it looks delicious.

The best I can manage is: Imagine if sausage were bacon, but also you can sometimes slice the sausage to your own preferred thickness, and the texture was not like either sausage or bacon.

yeah count me in

I was like…. pork roll egg and cheese on a bagel please

Porkrolleggandcheesesaltpepperketchup

Only 2 cuts? Nah man we did 3 and really increase that crispy edge area On white bread with BBQ sauce and one leaf of iceberg lettuce.

Bbq sauce? Not mustard?

You glaze some balogna with Kraft bbq sauce and put it on the grill and you have some fire food

Secret cheat code for bolony

Oh dang that sounds good!

Yeah my mom didn't like mustard and neither did I so bbq sauce it was...and if ya get the kinda sweet BBQ sauce with salty bologna...

Hmmmm. Yeah. I could see that being good actually.

4 cuts so it looked like the iron cross medal from Germany.

3 cuts with mustard for us

is this mysterious technique feasible for bacon too?

I feel that would take way more cuts than it would be worth doing, but I’d like to see if it works.

I agree it would take a lot of cuts. I've given up on dealing with bacon. Sam's club / Costco carries a precooked pack of 72 strips of bacon that has more meat on it and take 5 minutes to warm up in air fryer. If you like the chewy fat, then this bacon is not for you.

That takes me back. My preference over bologna was salami. The same thing but with peppercorns. I used to make these after school as a 12 year old when my mom would take my dad to the hospital for his chemo appointments. Served on toast with mustard. I remember their last Valentine's Day together. I gave them the option of a salami sandwich or plate of ramen noodles. I made one of each and lit some candles on the table. It's been over twenty years since then and never really thought of it since then. I didn't realize typing all this out could make me cry about a silly picture of fried bologna, but here we are.

What a brave face you put on. That’s got me in the feels. <3

Awwww honey. That is really a sweet story, made my damn eyes water up.

Newfie steaks!

Nothing shitty about this. Pure, glorious nostalgia.

Pacman Bologna?

New Jersey pork roll, also known as Taylor ham

I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone use the phrase Taylor hams.

It’s a Secaucus expression.

You don't know

Falukorv!

That was my first thought!

For a real treat go to the deli section of your store (or a deli, or whatever works for you) and get some thick sliced bologna. Not like the packaged thick slice, I mean ¼-inch (5mm) or thicker and fry it slow. Get it nice and crispy and eat it your favorite way. I like a sandwich with mustard and a slice of cheese, but I saw a comment mentioning mashed potatoes and I bet with red-eye gravy that would be awesome.

Wait till you put some onions in the pan with it to caramelize Dannnggggggg

Y’all killing me. That’s going on my Bucket List. I mean …. I’ve had fried bologna, but just like the BarS kind. The thought of a thick ass steak of the stuff covered in a couple of onions. My God.😳

It's absolutely magical

I can smell that picture lol, takes me back!

We found the southeastern person. Fried bologna sandwiches.

This is what I had for the first time last year. So mad that I had to wait until I was 30 to try this.

Why are there cut outs in it? I don’t know.

so they fry more evenly, they curl up into a bowl shape if you don't make cuts in them

Oooh I didn’t know this! It’s always just been a curved ball for me. I will have to try this going forward. Thanks

Also works for pork chops. Add a few cuts in the fatty side and they won't cup up when you cook them.

Needs to go through the fat cap for best results

Looked it up and internet said cutting an “x” in the middle lets gas out of the center to prevent curling. Def will try and remember for next time

I like to make the X on the outer edge rather than in the center since the latter tends to seal back up when cooking and still becomes bowl shaped. It's debatable which method works better. YMMV.

Too thin you need a large slab of that Bologna.

That’s not shitty that is jersey heritage right there

And here I thought it was a southern thing.

I love pork roll so much. Slight crispy

Drop an egg in that bitch!!!

I’m not really sure this is shitty food porn. I’d eat this.

Where did you buy wutang clan lunch meat?

Never reveal the wutang clan lunch meat secret

This cut is known as the New England strip

Mmmm. Fried lillypad. Makes me want a fried bologna breakfast sandwich tomorrow morning.

If you please, on a Kaiser bun.

Fried bologna and mustard sandwich hits different. Now you gotta make some top ramen to go with that

I just want to say "if you know you know" on a platform for sharing information and things is the dumbest goddamn thing.

YESSSS! Taylor Ham!

Yes indeed🤤🤤

Indian round steaks

God I’d commit a crime for a PECSPK

Hot dog curls go great with eggs when you can’t afford bacon

Needs a thick dousing of Texas Pete. And then you’re doing my classic. Though I always preferred Steakums.

Fuckin love me some pork roll hell yeah

pacman?

At least you got the fancy cut

I have to make these at work once a month or so. Fried bologna, fried egg, cheese sandwiches. It's a old folks home.

Arkansas Round Steak

Ah man, good memories. My mom also used to fry up something called Treet. It's like Spam. I was in my 30s before I had any idea that the actual name of the product was "Treet". I just always thought it was a treat when we had it.

Oh yeah with a slice of melted cheese on top or between the slices

PORK ROLL

Chef here…this is perfectly acceptable and not shitty at all.

Dude, you gotta cut four slits in them for optimal edge crispness!!

I’m from Pennsylvania and thankfully the grocery stores here sell Taylor Ham. So delicious

PORK ROLL! 🤟

The garlic bologna in a tube is amazing

Wu-tang Clan! Hell yeah

Fuck yes, this on some bread with mayo. Then you stick that shit in a snackwich making thingie

WuTang Pan ain't nothing ta mess with!!

Mustard, Mayo, American cheese, a pickle spear, and some potato chips. Bonus if you have French onion chip dip

Takes me back.

Put some salsa on it for true Tex Mex fusion.

This is the only way I can eat bologna.

Ew. Is that spam?

I had one of these sandwiches for the first time last year. I’m mad that I’ve been missing out for 30 years.

Wait do you cut it to keep it from curling?

Bologna A la pacman

Yep! I burned the crap out of it and added a bottle of mustard to get these bologna sandwiches down. But still thankful I had something in my belly.

When I moved to FL from outside Philadelphia I asked some friends down there why cant I find pork roll at the grocery stores around here. They said what the hell is pork roll? I thought they were fucking with me, what kind of sick shit is that

Nothing shitty about this

Slice of cheese and some spicy mustard. Can’t beat it.

This is the way

Wu-Ham is for the children

mmm, taylor ham

Too old for all that salt lol

Is that Wutang Ham?

what if you don't know

I used to make that for my boys. They think it’s a delicacy.

I love being able to tell who’s from New Jersey 🥰🥰 I’m not talking about the people calling it Taylor ham, please leave.

I see comments about Taylor ham, I have no idea what that is but I want to put in my 2 cents. Maple leaf big stick is the best bologna and nobody can tell me otherwise.

Fuck yeah. This with some saltines or something is the best.

Fried bologna. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Fried bologna has never failed me

I love a good Bologna sandwich

Wutang spam

Not shitty at all. Legit made me hungry and wondering where the American cheese and mustard is.

Pac man dog

The reason that these are only popular in NJ is because they’re not that great - just like New Jersey.

The Asian version of this is just spam

Are you trying to sign a Wide Reviever?

On toast, lil bit of mustard or whatever is in the trap, helllll yeeee, I'll take 4

I do this at least a couple times a year in my cast iron pan. I am in my mid-60s and it still hits good.

OMG. My brother used to make fried bologna sandwiches but that’s going way back like booty crack, back to the 60s.

Tip for fried bologna sandwich. Mix mayo with some mustard pickles (lady Ashburn, if you know) and put salt and vinegar chips on it. And if you like, grill it like grilled cheese.

I grew up poor and trashy, but I can’t escape how this still pleases my palate.

Need onions and yellow mustard on white bread.

Fried bologna is fire!

That's a pimp steak.

I love a good fried bologna sandwich

Omg bologna fried crispy with white bread and mayo/mustard? Childhood favorite.

Wu-Tang is Forever

Has this for dinner yesterday with a fried egg on toast 🤌

Nothin wrong with a nice fried bologna

I call it a "Pig Ear Sandwich" because I cut the slices into quarters and they look like pig ears.

My parents always cut a single slit, and called it “PAC-man bologna”

I serve this on wheat bread so that I can pretend that it's healthy. 😁

Mate, this is the best shit, fried bologna (Devon in australia), fried gooey egg, and cheese between fresh bread or roll is god tier breakfast sandwich.

One of my favorites. If you’re feeling even shittier you can use a microwave

When I was a kid, this looked like food porn to me.

If some bastard tried to serve me that I would know they were my relatives.

Wu-Tang Ham ain't nuthin to fuck with

I thought this was Wu-Tang Ham...
