FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I was really getting annoyed during my recent Asia trip trying to get good cabin and seat shots with my point and shoot and its relatively narrow lens.

Morning, Box.

In S. Jersey and Philly, one of the foods I DON'T miss is scrapple. How people eat that s#!t is beyond me. I've given it a couple of tries based on differing recommendations from locals. Blech. We need a throw-up emoticon.

:rolleyes: for calling HR reps for follow ups only to be transferred directly to their voicemail.

So you can't mix a travel voucher and Travel Bank funds?! I thought the Travel Bank was "as good as cash"... :rolleyes:

Yes - A map of where the line is in New Jersey where it is called Taylor Ham vs. Pork Roll. I love teh intertubes.

peace,

I think that red line goes a little too far north. I've lived in Central NJ most of my life and it has always been taylor ham.

That's the opposite of what I would have expected -- people closer to Philly usually have exposure to the Taylor brand of pork roll, hence the moniker "Taylor ham". The Wiki page on it is very interesting, going so far as to call taylor ham egg and cheese the "Jersey breakfast". Never knew it acquired that nickname.

We finally found a decent condo (although, it's a little smaller compared to what I would have liked...) that will allow us to do a short term lease! We should be signing the lease later tonight. ^

sdm1130, I am lifelong Ocean County and it's always been taylor ham for me too. Commercially, diners and greasy spoon joints have always said "pork roll" for (I would assume) trademark reasons, but colloquially it's always been taylor ham.
