    Well, they have either expanded, or I'm misrememberizing something else. Both are equally likely.

    Taylor & Case pork roll are both in Trenton NJ. The UPS is kept busy with people shipping it frozen/overnight.   There's so many transplants here at SML, the grocery stores "import" it.

    I thought you were going to talk about e-mail spam. I was going to unleash the beast about "NEW DEALS" e-mail spam in my inbox :D I grew up on SPAM - father was in the Air Force, raising 3 kids while trying to pay $25,000 worth of credit card debt his first wife rang up before running back to England to her parents when he couldn't just up and leave Germany when she wanted to. We ate SPAM often - fried with eggs, on a sandwich, dinner fried up with potato, cheese, and egg. Its delicious and a comfort food nowadays.

    I have to be in a mood for SPAM. Don't get me wrong I love that pink "meat"? I wonder if they made one of those piano wire egg slicer for SPAM? After seeing Toolman286's pic of Taylor ham slices. Anyways it's good that SPAM can sit.

    If it's the same product as I saw on some TV foodie show, Taylor Ham and Pork Roll is virtually unknown - and unobtainable - outside of about one square mile of the New Jersey shore. It's almost a neighborhood-only company.

    Taylor pork roll is in every food store in south Jersey and in the Philly area so is scrapple...

    My day bought some last week - always in stock and there is store label brand and competitor brands as well for these products.

    You can get both products in most diners and local eateries as well cooked and served hot...

    Been that way I my area forever and then some.

    Might be price or hard to locate or costly to ship or in demand beyond capacity in the rest of the world but not here - and I am as far away from the shore as possible.

    what is scrapple?
    3
  • Toolman286
    definition: Scrapple, is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour, often buckwheat flour, and spices. The mush is formed into a semi-solid congealed loaf.
    AKA: It's actually the parts of a hog that even a ravenous dog won't eat.

    I grew up in the S. Jersey / Philadelphia area. EVERY grocery and restaurant/Deli I visited, had Taylor Pork Roll on the menu. I live in SE Virginia now and local grocery stores all stock Taylor products. No Amoroso rolls. Kaiser rolls here are little more than reshaped Wonder bread ! I have to bake my own. Recipe available on line. If you never had any, Try making your own, you won't regret it ! A good hard Polish rye bread is a nice substitute.

    Spotted dikk for you Anglophile's (damned auto censor) (google it - it's a real thing and that's the English name)

    Amoroso is now down the jersey shore and fled Philly and union thuggery - still thriving and the best roll god ever allowed - I use it on hamburgers and it's especially great with brisket...

    What is scrapple - how dare you...

    The floor sweepings and grinder scrapings from the hot dog factory have to go somewhere.

    I was a gold miner 30 miles from the middle of nowhere, and we had spam stacked everywhere in the cabin.  It's "meat" and the bears can't smell it so they don't tear the cabin apart.  Hotcakes in the morning, fried spam slices, maple syrup, work your ass off.  Evening, boiled water, ramen, macaroni noodles and fake cheese, spam slices and soy.  Sleep like a baby.  Repeat.

    Toolman, here's a biology lesson. The parts you talk about are the FIRST ones a carnivore eats. There's nothing of a pig that isn't edible - and eaten - except bones.

    So I guess it is not that good?

    Find it on youtube and watch Mike Rowe make Scarpple, Andrew Zimmern went to a liver Mush festival. He also made scrapple with the Appalachian "Hillbillies".

    Haven't ever had the chance to try liver mush, but would leap at it. Scrapple is something I enjoy on my rare visits back to the Land of Liberal Madness. Scrapple I like; liberals not so much.

    I believe the oink is the only thing not eaten. Bones used for soup stock, or ground for fertilizer and/protein at rendering plants.


    Mmmnn, any kinda of bean soup made with homemade pork stock.

    Ken, that's how it is with SPAM, whether the canned kind or the email: folks see it, but just pass on to something else.

    I went to the Spam museum in Austin MN several years back, and they had every variety of Spam there for sale. I believe it was 13. I bought one of each. I ate some over the last few years but I found the salt content was just too much for me. The Jalapeno was my favorite. I ended up throwing the remainder out before I moved.
