Part of a 'Things you didn't know about New Jersey' email sent to me.

New Jersey has the most diners in the world and is sometimes referred
to as the "Diner Capital of the World." (Have eaten at a couple.)

New Jersey is home to the original Mystery Pork Parts Club
(no, not Spam): Taylor Ham or Pork Roll. (Yum!)

Home to the less mysterious but the best Italian hot dogs and Italian
sausage w/peppers and onions. (Even more yum!)

Jersey tomatoes are known the world over as being the best you can buy.
(Yes they are.)

New Jersey is the world leader in blueberry and cranberry
production (and here you thought Massachusetts?). (Knew about the
blueberries, not the cranberries)

Here's to New Jersey - the toast of the country! In 1642, the first
brewery in America, opened in Hoboken. (Actually it was in 1663)

Hobken is also the home of the first 'Blimpie' sandwich shop, started by
NJ students.

You know you're from NJ when:

You don't think of fruit when people mention "The Oranges." (Towns
bordering Newark by the name of Orange, East Orange, West Orange and
South Orange. No North Orange though.)

A good, quick breakfast is a hard roll with butter.

You know that a "White Castle" is the name of BOTH a fast food
chain AND a fast food sandwich.

You consider putting mayo on a corned beef sandwich a sacrilege.


You've had a boardwalk cheese steak and vinegar fries. (Down the Shore
of course)
