Taylor Pork Roll Breakfast Sandwich
I’ve been very patiently waiting to make it out to the east coast for this moment…the Taylor pork roll sandwich. Considered a delicacy, Taylor pork was created by John Taylor in Trenton, NJ in 1856. The cured meat contains pork, salt, sugar, and spices that formed into a large roll and smoked. It is kind of similar in flavor to a hotdog, but much firmer in texture. This pork is topped on griddled bread of your choice with a fried egg and cheese; sometimes served with ketchup.
