This article is nice, as far as it goes... but what _is_ Taylor Ham? It's obviously processed. Is it closer to being a type of sausage or what?

Yes, it's a kind of sausage. - CobaltBlueTony 15:35, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

But what are the cuts of pig going into the pork roll? Pork butt?

I believe it's byproduct, the ingredients only say pork.

byproducts? Inquiring mind wants to know????

I'm in Pittsburgh, originally from NJ. Was raised on this stuff and no idea what exact meats comprise it. I'm guessing a mixture of lean ham and fatty, hot dog-like by products.

Taylor Ham is a brand name, there is no way pork roll should redirect to Taylor Ham. It should be the other way around.

I was born and raised in Trenton, I still live in the area, and NO ONE I know around here calls pork roll Taylor Ham. (As a side note, I happen to prefer Case's, but that's a different story)

My best guess is someone from North Jersey wrote this, where Taylor is the most popular brand.

I'd never heard of Taylor Ham until I moved to North Jersey, but I HAD heard of pork roll while growing up in Cape May County. But I have another question about this article: Since when is Morris County a part of Central Jersey? It north of me and I'm definitely North Jersey, these days. Such references, along with the mixed up redirect, make me question the validity of this article. Olibear (talk) 15:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC) olibear

[edit] this should redir to pork roll

Pork roll is in far more common usage and taylor ham is just one brand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Foodmarket (talk • contribs) 03:01, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, this is like "copy machine" redirecting to Xerox, or "dvr" redirecting to Tivo. Somebody plz fix!66.173.161.10 (talk) 03:38, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
