I thought I was in Heaven, than they stopped carrying it. After a few years, they brought in a product from Altoona PA. No bad, but not like ours.<br />They stopped that too. I have my shakes occasionaly, and find a need to make a sortie to NJ to get my fix of pork roll, which incendtilly they call "Balony in Bag" down. There is one store that Carries Taylors, and have it priced at $10.49 per pound. That's higher than filet mignon.<br />2 Weeks ago after a visit to AC, I stopped at Shop Rite in West Wildwood and loaded my cooler with Pork roll and Scrapple, which they call that "Pon Hous" below the Mason Dixon line.<br />Now Fresh Pork roll is without a doubt my favorite, and whenever I can, I get to the Farmer's market and bring home a cooler full.<br />Do you remember eating the remenant pieces that stuck to the bagging when you finished frying it?<br /><br />Regards<br />Mike KuzmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-40697818382665773142013-10-24T22:16:42.387-04:002013-10-24T22:16:42.387-04:00Ed: You betcha, but down here, they call it "...Ed: You betcha, but down here, they call it "Baloney in bag"<br /><br />Could not locate it here when I first moved down 11 years ago. Believe it or not, it showed up in the dollar tree store, and it was "Case's" at that. I lived "high on the hog" (couldn't resist that) for 7 years, than it stopped. Another brand was brought in last year from Altoona PA, but that only lasted a few montns. One Super Mkt. chain carries "Taylor" and charges the same price per pound as filet migon.<br />Just visited AC two weeks ago, brought my cooler and loaded up at Shop Rite in West Wildwood before catching the Ferry Boat across the Bay.<br />Each time I visit Mercer County I make a stop at the Farmer's market to get the "Fresh Porkroll" which will always be my Filet Migon!<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Mike KuzmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-65831056391739617092013-10-24T14:54:23.421-04:002013-10-24T14:54:23.421-04:00My all time favorite is "fresh pork roll"...My all time favorite is "fresh pork roll" and it's not as heavily smoked and salty as the "regular" fare.<br /><br />Perhaps one of the things that will be of benefit with the changes in Trenton and the dispersal of the inhabitants; pork roll is becoming more popular down south according to some of the Facebook folks.<br /><br />Ed MillerickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
