Many years ago , back in New Jersey, I and my family enjoyed the
wonderful and unique Taylor Porkroll. It was sold throughout the
northeastern states at most grocery stores, and even on the boardwalk of
Atlantic City, where they had a specialty shop dedicated to sandwiches.
The only way I could get it on the west coast was to order it by mail.
Can anyone help me?

I was thrilled to have this treat from my childhood available to me in
stores once again after recently moving to Baltimore. My grandmother also
ordered the unsliced 'logs' by mail. She's gone so I can't ask her where she
got it, but I did find these:

Well, I'm known far and wide for shipping Taylor Porkroll to
NJ expats and to cookins. I'd be willing to send you some at cost.
Email me if you're interested, you will undoubtedly save a load on
the shipping.

Hi Cate...

Welcome to baltimore...
I'm in Glen Burnie, just south of you, and we've seen it at BJ's Wholesale
in the Glen Burnie/Pasadena area (Ritchie Highway to be exact)...

I'll be there this afternoon and I'll find out how much it costs to let you
know.

Regards,

Sandra

It's sold in the supermarkets here in the Houston area. Maybe ask your
stores if they could start carrying it?

Hi again Cate,

I just got back from BJ's and they were out of the Taylor Pork Roll, but
they had the Trenton... it's $15.49 for a 6 pound roll.

I'll be going to Costco & Sam's Club tomorrow and I'll check there for it
also.

Sandra

I'm actually not the one looking for it. That was the original poster.

I can get it at the Shopper's Food Warehouse in my neighborhood (Locust
Point). Terrible store otherwise, but they do have pork roll.

Someone here in Dallas was raving about it a few weeks ago. I
happened to see it at Central Market's deli counter, and bought a
couple of slices to taste.

Blech!

I guess it's an acquired taste -- but to me it was like slightly
spoiled bologna, or something similar.

LOL. nancy sent some here for a cook-in. To me it's a cross of
bologna and spam. I do like it, but couldn't eat it often. The kids
here could live on it though.

How did you eat the Taylor Pork Roll? As a New Jersian so TPR is readily
available to me, yet I agree that its an acquired taste. To me, TPR has
very subtle flavor. For me, TPR is just one of those things that's there,
but there are different ways to eat Taylor Pork Roll. A popular way is to
take thin slices of TPR, make a cut in each slice so it doesn't warp and
fry them in a heavy pan over a high heat for a minute or two per slice,
then serve as a sandwhich, or eat in place of sausage or ham with your
favorite egg dish for breakfast.

Nancy can give more specific details on cooking and eating TPR than I can
see she's a fan of it.

I am? (laugh) I *ship* it to rfc people. I'd never even heard of it
until I met my first husband. I like it. People miss it who grew
up here; I didn't.

Once in a blue moon, I really do love a pork roll and cheese
sandwich, I promise all of you, this is NOT a low fat product.
Two bites, I'm done.

nancy

I thank all of you for responding to my request. I was going to order
some for Xmas gifts. I am not one for shopping on line, but prefer to
order it directly from its home company. I have some very old order
blanks for: The Taylor Provision Company, P.O. Box 8485, Trenton, N.J.
08650. There was no tel #, or internet address attached to this
information. I tried a search on my ricky-tick web server with no luck.
I'll keep trying and remembering the good ole' times and summer
breakfasts, at the bungalow in the not very fancy Port Monmouth, N.J.
Thanks again.

(laughing!) Well, I guess she told me. So much for old reliable.

nancy

Nancy, I am truly sorry if I offended you, and If it is because I
referred to Port Monmouth, N.J. as being "not too fancy", I was only
thinking of all the very good times I had there. Our bungalow was built
by my grandfather, a rustic shell of a place, we pumped our own water,
and like so many places during the great depression, in rural locales,
we used out-houses, cooked on kerosene stoves, picked wild blackberries
and asparagus, fished, crabbed, clammed and had a fragrant summer garden
that grew our vegetables. It was always filled with a happy, a bit
raggedy group of grandchildren with dirty faces and enormous appetites.
The adults stayed in the hot and smoky cities to work all week, then
traveled in traffic clogged highways (there were no freeways) to join up
with the children on the happy and expectant weekends. One brave and
loving grandma took care of all of us, every summer, Monday thru Friday
without much help from her suntanned charges. Ice wagons and vegetable
trucks stopped frequently and we climbed all over them, and we received
large pieces of ice and a sweet and juicy peach or plum to stain our
already spotted faces! I write with love in my heart for those days, and
wonder how much is missing from the young lives we nurture today. What
has replaced the nickel we clutched in a sweaty hand as we walked a mile
to the vanilla smell of the penny-candy store, for that treasure twisted
in such a tiny brown bag.......

If you don't want to order it online, then perhaps you should get offline
and start making phone calls.

Try calling 800.555.1212 and ask for their 800 (or any other toll-free)
number. If that's a bust, call directory assistance in Trenton (find the
area code for Trenton on the web and dial it + 555.1212); I'd be awfully
surprised if Taylor Provision Company (if that's who still makes it) has no
phones.

Last time I heard, they do NOT sell direct.

But surely they could point a fan of the product in the direction of a

Oops. Sorry Nancy. I thought you were a Taylor Pork Roll officionado.
I agree, TPR is not low fat, but I wonder if its any higher in fat
than sausage, sliced ham, Canadian bacon, and other similar foods.

The phone number might be at http://www.switchboard.com

In fact, I just looked up "Taylor Provision Company" there
for Trenton, NJ and here's the info:

63 Perrine Ave
Trenton, NJ 08638-5114
Phone:Ê(609) 392-1113

No need to be sorry, not for an instant. I was just saying.

I was talking about TPR and cheese sandwiches. Get a good Kaiser
roll with the seeds, cook up 3 slices of TPR (don't forget to slash
it on 4 sides to keep it flat), when one side is cooked, turn them
over and top each slice with a slice of American cheese. Stack them
on the (warmed) kaiser roll once the cheese has melted. Eat.

(laugh) Anyway, I didn't mean TPR is fattier than anything else, I
meant the sandwich. That's how it's served here. Pork Roll & Cheese.

I believe they for sale online by at least a
couple of different companies. Just
google "Taylor Pork Roll".

What do you mean? I took it out of the deli bag and ate it.
No condiments or other such.

Don't be offended, Mark, but that was the best laugh I had in a long
time. You might still not like it cooked, but I can assure you, I
never heard of anyone eating pork roll raw.

If it tasted slightly spoiled it probably was! TPR has many tastes to
it, primarily salt and sugar and fat LOL! Slightly spoiled isn't in
there if the stuff is fresh.

A kind friend in NJ made his poor brother haul some back to ABQ for me!
It's frozen now and is being doled out sparingly.... great with good
baked beans and 'Boston' brown bread.

Okay, waitaminnit. Is it raw raw, as in it-could-make-you-
sick-if-you-dont-cook-it, or is it raw in that it's better
cooked like some people like their bologna?

I was picturing some kind of pre-cooked meat myself -- words
like "sandwich" and "bologna" were kicked around so often in
this thread, I guess I started picturing lunch meat... :-)

FWIW, it didn't *taste* raw -- just weird.

(laugh) No, I never heard of that, I don't think, though it's a
natural. As I said, TPR doesn't play a major role (harrr) in my
life, I didn't grow up with it.

No Tasty Kakes for me, either. No way my parents would have sprung
for either.

I've asked around, and no one seems really to know. Perhaps
because no one thinks to eat it the way it comes. Someone here
must know the answer. Where's Alan Zelt?
