The Taylor Ham Post

This was inspired by something I heard this AM at my local corner store.

After circumnavigating The Sipper at the self service counter and getting my bad self a steaming cup 'o' joe, I ventured to the counter to complete my purchase, along with my daily newspapers (yesssss, I still read newspapers). Say hi to Bob (not his real name). $4.00 to me.

A lady, after checking her losing lottery tickets, places an order:
"Can I have a taylor ham, egg and cheese on...whole wheat bread!

Whole wheat bread? Are you kidding me? Where are you from, Ohio?

For all of you that don't live in The J (North or South), you may not know what TAYLOR HAM is. Your loss. Let me try to explain...

Taylor ham is a delicacy, not unlike other delicacies around the world. It can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, late-night snack, 3AM diner run after the bars close, etc.

Taylor Ham is pork roll, but all pork roll is not taylor ham

It is available at every stop along the GSP and NJ TPKE

It's made in NJ. So it has a very small carbon footprint

People who grew up in the J often request it to be shipped to them. My bro-in-law in Indiana gets one for Christmas every year

It is best eaten on either a hard roll or bagel. We have the best of those here as well

People who visit are often encouraged by the natives to partake. Listen to them!

It keeps the multitude from turning vegan. It's that good!

SoulSlam has been dieting for the last 10 weeks or so (down 17!) - so I haven't enjoyed a nice taylor hame and cheese (hold the egg!) in awhile.
I'm getting hungry.
