Pork Roll Heaven

Pork Roll at the Shore: Memories of growing up a “Jersey Boy” and smelling pork-roll cooking on a Saturday morning are palatable.  Fast forward to marriage, children and living in metro Philly .  .  .  then there’s that family summertime ritual.  The Saturday evening trip to the Jersey Shore (Ocean City, NJ), with amusement rides for the kids and you guessed it, Taylor Pork Roll!

Enter my brother-in law who is my food & adult beverage cohort and fellow Taylor Pork Roll connoisseur.  Together we seem to be on the receiving end of an occasional (okay, often) reprimand for our culinary and/or beverage indiscretions.  Well, that scolding came quick after we ordered that culinary Shangri-La, the coveted Taylor Pork Roll & Cheese sandwich, slathered in yellow mustard.  Sandwich in hand while walking the “boards” at the shore (not the beach).  OMG, heaven on a roll!  There’s something special about smelling the salt air, chasing the Gulls away and racing after children .  .  .  nostalgic for sure.

Okay, I get that the sodium and fat level is higher than advisable but we all make choices and more importantly, “fat transfers flavor.”  God knows, that's why we love Taylor Pork Roll, “down at the shore.” That’s “how we roll!”

Keep on Food Frolicking!
