For fun I have decided to have opponent-related food for our tailgate/party. For instance, Wisconsin will feature bratwurst, Maryland crabcakes, etc.

For New Jersey, a quick search revealed this:

Pork Roll (a.k.a. Taylor Ham)

Pork roll

Matt Taylor-Gross

Widely known in parts of Jersey as Taylor Ham (named after its creator, John Taylor), pork roll originated in Trenton and dates back to 1856. It's a salty, fatty processed meat like bologna or spam and is most classically eaten as part of a balanced Jersey breakfast: fried pork roll, eggs, and cheese on a "hard" (kaiser) roll bread, another Jersey specialty. (We also like it for extra juicy meatballs). The meat has amassed a legion of fans, to the point that there is now an annual pork roll festival every summer.


Yummy. What's not to like about a "salty, fatty processed meat like bologna"?

Would destroy. Sounds good. And to think with a Jersey theme I have been in the tanning bed all week, bought a pair of jeans with holes already in them, smothered myself in axe body spray and gelled back my hair. I like your way better.

Rick Steves’ Rutgers

15-10-24-FB-1129-DH.jpg


Hi, I’m Rick Steves, back with the Best of the Big Ten! Today we’re in picturesque Piscataway, New Jersey to share in the majesty of a fall football weekend with college football’s first winning team.

That’s right – not only was Rutgers the home of the first college football game in 1869, the juggernaut we now know as the Scarlet Knights defeated Princeton that day by a score of 6-4. You might say they’ve been pretty #B1G from day one.

Now, nearly 150 years later, fans still flock from all over to make a pilgrimage to college football’s version of Bethlehem.

Rutgers and the surrounding area have so much to offer you, but it’s always important to understand the local customs before immersing yourself in a foreign culture.

Getting Around

Every state has its own unique vernacular for expressing location. For example, people from Michigan hold up their hands and point to where they live in that mitten-shaped state.

Because everything in New Jersey is seemingly located no more than five miles from either the Garden State Parkway or New Jersey Turnpike, communication about location is done by exits. When asking where something in the state is located, just inquire, “What exit?”

Rutgers’ football stadium is located off Exit 9 from I-287.

If you are driving to the game, you should be aware of another charming local custom. It is illegal to pump your own gas in the state of New Jersey.

By law, all gas pumps in the state are full service. It is one of two states where that is true, and the other (Oregon) recently relaxed its law somewhat.

You can be fined between $50-250 for pumping your own gas, so just sit back, relax, and wait five minutes before the guy finally comes over to your car.

Fine Dining

New Jersey’s gastro scene is divided geographically into northern and southern halves by a line known as the Taylor Ham/Pork Roll Line. This split crosses the state just north of Rutgers, placing the campus in Pork Roll country.

There were no utensils in medieval times, hence there are no utensils at Medieval Times.

In both cases, it refers to a processed pork product that is generally sliced, pan-fried and then served as a sandwich. This carnivore’s delight is the same in both sections of the state, but those in northern New Jersey call it “Taylor Ham” based on a popular brand, much like “Xerox” or “Kleenex” became generic terms for all products in their respective markets.

I'm surprised he can get away with using the name Rick Steves in the article.
