Officially labeled a Taylor Pork Roll, the processed meat sandwich has been an argumentative topic in New Jersey.
In the north, the popular breakfast item is called Taylor ham but simply called pork rolls in the south.
It got so heated in 2016 that Gov. Chris Christie claimed to be considering issuing an executive order making ‘Taylor ham’ the sandwich’s official name.
