5 Reasons It Should Be And IS And Always Will Be 'Taylor Ham'

The age-old debate with North Jerseyans versus the world. Taylor Ham or Pork Roll? Being Jersey born and raised, here are the top five reasons (in no particular order) why it should be referred to as "Taylor Ham," and why everyone who calls it "Pork Roll" is wrong.

1. It's A Culture Thing. Outsiders Don't Get It.

If you had the privilege of growing up in the great state of New Jersey and more specifically in the north, it has always been and always will be Taylor Ham. Diners and restaurants have it on their menu.

2. It Is A Regional Favorite.

Everyone eats it. EVERYONE! Especially if you need food on the go. People can find this delectable item at convenience stores or fast food establishments. Quick, easy and delicious.

3. Canadian Bacon and Taylor Ham are NOT THE SAME!

Sorry, people of Canada, you almost got it right. It tastes and looks different.

4. Taylor Ham, Not Pork Roll, Belongs On A Bagel.

Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese people. Get it right.

5. North Jersey says "Taylor Ham" And South Jersey Says "Pork Roll."

South Jersey is just a little bit behind. Don't worry, they'll catch up.

So, people of the world, It is TAYLOR HAM!

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
