“Pork roll is pure New Jersey. It’s the only food that starts a statewide argument before breakfast—Taylor Ham or pork roll? That’s Jersey on a roll.”
“Homemade is best, who doesn’t love Taylor pork roll? If you don’t like pork roll, leave the state, please.”
“While we may disagree on the name, the pork roll/taylor ham will forever belong to our Garden State. North or South (central doesn't exist), forever will we seek the nearest WAWA.”
“Every Sunday after church we would drive to the Wanaque bakery for our crumb cake. More crumbs than cake - PERFECT!”
“I lived in Mahwah for over 30 years. No one in TN knows what disco fries are and I feel they represent NJ diner culture .”
New Jersey's ballot is a diner and a boardwalk. Taylor Ham / Pork Roll, Egg & Cheese starts the day and starts the argument; Disco Fries end the night. Newark's Italian Hot Dog and the Fat Sandwich are two-handed meals. Trenton claims Tomato Pie, with the sauce on top. Delis serve the Triple-Decker Sloppy Joe. The shore supplies Saltwater Taffy, Funnel Cake, and the Boardwalk Soft Pretzel. Crumb Cake goes home in a white box. What New Jersey is famous for starts an argument about what to call it. So what is New Jersey's official state dish? That is what the vote decides.
