STONE HARBOR, N.J. — I am a late adopter when it comes to pork roll, but better late than never, right? This processed meat could probably qualify as N.J.’s state foodstuff, provided you are not including Jersey fresh produce like tomatoes, corn (soooo good), peaches or blueberries (Hammonton boasts being the blueberry capital of the world). Taylor, of Trenton is probably the best known variety although there are a few others.

I like my pork roll grilled with the traditional four cuts to keep it from curling up. I eat them on a hamburger roll, no condiments, but many people have mustard and/or relish or have it on an english muffin with an egg.
