I figured I'd have most everyone stumped except for the New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania crowd.
Behold pork roll...
It's a tasty little pork treat that kind of resembles salami but not very spicy, and it tastes best fried or at least heated up. The only companies that make it are here in Trenton, NJ and there's a weird dynamic that goes on with the name. You can see on the packaging that it's called "Taylor Pork Roll," but in North Jersey if you ask for pork roll you get people looking at you scratching their heads. They call it "Taylor Ham" for some reason.

I call it pork roll, people up here have no clue what we are talking about no matter how we say it.
We ordered a few weeks from Lancaster county,Pa, some pork roll, bagged balogna(sp?),ring balogna, and some scrapple. They only things we have been able to find up here is ring balogna and some scrapple,but it all don't taste right we are so use to Lancaster county meats.
