The Hersch Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Made the Jersey Egg McMuffin - Taylor Pork roll and poached eggs on a kaiser roll for two on the balcony. Love the pig, so many options for breakfast. Can somebody fill me in on Taylor Pork Roll? I've often wondered what the heck it is, and I've never quite gotten up the nerve to just buy one and try it. Should I, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often wondered what the heck it is, and I've never quite gotten up the nerve to just buy one and try it. Should I, and why? Hart to explain. I'd give it a shot. It's porky and salty. I take it, make cuts in the edges so it doesn't curl up and fry it until slightly brown. Basically it's like any other processed breakfast pork product but it has some lactic acid in it which gives it a very subtle tang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoramargolis Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Can somebody fill me in on Taylor Pork Roll? I've often wondered what the heck it is, and I've never quite gotten up the nerve to just buy one and try it. Should I, and why?When I was introduced to this product in the late 60's, New Yorkers I knew referred to it as "Taylor ham." It was a very popular sandwich lunch meat--essentially, it is a soft "cooked salami" made of coarsely ground pork that has no garlic in it, and is very smoky tasting. In New York and New England, it was sold sliced to order in delis, like bologna or salami, and also was available at grocery stores sliced in packages, similar to packages of ham and turkey, for sandwich making. I don't recall seeing it sold like that around here. J and I ate a lot of it when we lived in Vermont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Blume Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 It's time. While water boils, a small glass of grapefruit juice since melons aren't good anymore and you can't find a decent grapefruit yet. Scoop half a cup of oatmeal into a pot. Coffee ready to press? Pour the water that heated up your mug into the pan. By the time you've finished your coffee, flakes are puffy and soft. Hardly any time needed to finish cooking. Break tart, dried apple rings from Black Rock Orchard into your bowl. Dried cranberries & yellow raisins. Powdered cinnamon. Fold in cereal. Milk. Open the window to the world still green, only not completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubble Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I ate out, breakfast at 2:00 in the afternoon, sitting outside in this beautiful weather. Brioche french toast (a little undercooked in the middle)with giant blackberries. As an aside, if you're ever in the mood for a giant heap of super crispy bacon Metro 29 Diner on route 29 and Glebe has the best (their other items are okay)-if you like your meat-candy to actually be crunchy like brittle, ask for it well done. I am willing to fight my way through nasty weekend Georgetown traffic to cross the Key Bridge at least once a month for my fix. So good, even lifelong vegetarians are willing to partake of the pig.

I happened to be in there last night and my eye was caught by the famous (at least in my parents house) little red box Thank you! Today, Mr. MV and I had "second breakfast" after visiting the Alexandria farmers market. We stopped at the Bestway on Telegraph Rd. (just off the beltway exit) to get chicken parts for soup (what a day to make soup!). There is a food truck in the parking lot that has become a regular presence-and of course, they serve up wonderful Latino foods. Coudn't pass it up. Fresh, soft tacos held spicy ground beef, garnished with salsa verde, fresh cilantro. Three tacos for $6. This truck is a gem. We've had their papusas and carne asada before, and both were delicious.

Actually, the goat butter was purchased (Wegman's)... but now I feel a project coming on! Good luck on that project! One of the qualities that distinguishes goats' milk from cows' milk is that the cream doesn't rise to the top in goat milk--it's naturally homogenized. A cream separator which is a type of centrifuge is needed to make goat cream and thus, goat butter. Now you know why the goat butter was so much more expensive.

DanielK Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Somebody took the last granola bar, but left the empty box in the cupboard , so I took one of my wife's "Solo Gi Low Glycemic Nutrition Bar, Lemon Lift" and threw it in my lunchbag. Now sitting at work, with coffee in one hand and this bar in the other. Package says: 24 vitamins and minerals! 11 grams of protein! Good source of fiber! Yogurt coated! Sustained energy! Feel satisfied longer! For everyone --- everyday! They forgot to add: "tastes like ass". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
