His family later included Sen. Clifford Case, and George Washington Case Jr. the baseball player. All the same family, but the elder Case began the company that bears the name. The Goldy name is associated with this family as well.

I had to have a Tomato Pie, or a Pork Roll sandwich. My GI buddies, had no clue. We get Case's Pork Roll shipped to Nebraska, every year, thru their web site. Sorry to see they had a fire. Played hide and seek on their roof many times in the 40s and 50s, before moving to Hamilton Township, and Redfern St. My father in law, George Erdy, even carried Pork Roll when they first visited us in Hawaii. :) <br />ron boundnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-73855440346057826482012-01-15T15:22:24.954-05:002012-01-15T15:22:24.954-05:00Tom,

Taylor smoked pork roll was the best, especially with baked beans and home fries. And I lived on Tasty products all through high school and college. Whenever I get down there I stock up but now it's time to start having them shipped to me, hell with the expense. And yes, it has be difficult to explain tomato pies and pork roll to people in Mass and Maine.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-68273349391742632482011-03-16T14:09:35.402-04:002011-03-16T14:09:35.402-04:00Hi Tom::)

If you are not a Trenton native you may be aware of Taylor since they now ship to retirement venues. A fellow on an auto site gave himself away with his avatar of Taylor's logo. He wondered how I knew where he had roots.<br /><br />Sadly, I think the old fashioned pie is going to fade. Much of what we loved had to be in the quality of the cheese and such. The big companies dominate the market anymore.<br /><br />skipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-36772783740984810982011-03-16T09:58:18.755-04:002011-03-16T09:58:18.755-04:00Hi Tom: We also load up on Tastykakes and pork rol...Hi Tom: We also load up on Tastykakes and pork rolls when we come to Trenton. My sons and grandson love the pork roll but the Butterscotch Krimpets are an acquired taste -- but that means more for me. We also bring back Krispy Kreme doughnuts from Acme Mrkt. on Route 1. They box them for us and have them ready when we stop by before heating north. Oh how I miss all my favorites from NJ.

In North Jersey it is usually called Taylor Ham.[1] The product, as it is made today, was developed in 1856[2] by John Taylor of Trenton, New Jersey, though several firms produce their own versions.<br /><br />Got this from Wikapedia. When I first left NJ and moved out west, the two things I insisted my son bring when he came out to ski were Pork Roll and Tastycakes.omadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-21715631731668069442011-03-15T17:44:46.654-04:002011-03-15T17:44:46.654-04:00HI TOM....I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS GEORGE CASES&...HI TOM....I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS GEORGE CASES'S PORK ROLL.
