I really, really, really, really wish that I could get pork roll in San Francisco.

I think about this every day. Every single time I am in the Safeway by my house, I check the section of the store these would be in. I walk over to it with my fingers crossed. I know I'm never going find them there.. [cry]

Pork Roll - Jersey Taylor Ham

Ladies and gentlemen, I have found evidence that there may in fact be a God, and he shines his mercy and love down from the Internet.

You can now buy individual packets of Taylor Pork Roll off Amazon, thanks to a grocery store in New York. They send it packed in dry ice.

If you are from the New Jersey, Philadelphia, or New York area, you may understand the significance of this miracle. Otherwise, you are among those who will be burn in fire, brimstone, and butter when my meat rages across that nation. With cheese of course. Egg sometimes as well...

Seriously, Pork Roll! Fucking Pork Roll! Hell yeah!@$%^

Hmm.. Pork Roll.. Cheese.. Kaiser bun..

Once I'm past the beginning of the month lack of cash, I'm going to order one off the 3lb rolls, go into this one breakfast place by where I live, and make them aware of this wonderful meat's existence. Pork Roll MUST make it to the west coast.

I can't take it any longer!

Pork Roll - New Jersey's Best Kept Secret

From Ol' Blue Eyes to the Boss: Jersey Is Singing Your Song."
"Born to Fun."
"Bada Bing! Choose New Jersey"
"New Jersey: It Always Smells Like This"

Too much Sopranos. Here are a few of my own:
