Since coming to California for college, I've come to really miss New Jersey foods that sustained me for my first 18 years of life. I can't count the number of times when I've said that something a bagel would've tasted better some Taylor Ham or having some gravy on fries, only to be met my confused stares. Here's a list of food you've probably eaten if you're from New Jersey, and what I've come to miss dearly.

1. Disco Fries

You've probably had these at a diner late at night with your friends. Gravy and melted cheese are the true pair in heaven.

2. Taylor Ham

I'm from North Jersey, so excuse me for not saying pork roll. Still, I'm pretty sure both regions can appreciate this amazing piece of meat on any breakfast sandwich.

3. Kohr's Frozen Custard

It's the ideal dessert down the Shore. From its amazing shacks to the perfect combination of orange and vanilla, it's terrible how you have to wait until the weather gets warmer to go south.

4. Bagels

Nothing says a Sunday morning more than a fresh bagel from a local shop. Whether with a smear of cream cheese or as a packed sandwich, you can't find better bagels anywhere else in the country.

5. Salt Water Taffy

Every shore town has a plethora of salt water taffy shops. Either individually or in pre-packaged boxes, you probably have brought an entire pack home and finished it in days.

6. Tomato Pie/Pizza

Just like the bagel, you can't find better pizza anywhere else. Aside from great pizza, we have a spin known as the Tomato Pie. Why wouldn't we? We are, after all, famous for our tomatoes as well.

7. Italian Hot Dogs/ Sandwiches

There are tons of Italians in New Jersey. Whether with a hot dog or on a sandwich, you've probably tried a variation with the familiar peppers and onions that scream "The Garden State" in your mouth

8. Italian Ice/ Water Ice

It's another summer memory dessert. With its dozens of flavors, you probably remember eating it as quickly as possible, before the sun got to it first.
