Description
John Taylor invented Taylor's Prepared Ham in 1856 but had to change the name to pork roll after the government decided it didn't meet the legal definition of ham. Both names are used today: North Jerseyans tend to call it Taylor ham; those in the southern part of the state prefer pork roll. I call it pork roll, but to be fair, I've only lived in New Jersey 10 years. It's a benefit most military kids have — we are seldom from anywhere, so we can choose what works for us!
