Porkrolleggcheese sandwich

It's not disgusting or terribly expensive. So go ahead and try it if it's right there and you're curious. But it's not worth longing after or sending away for. My intention is really just to provide a balanced view of the stuff.

Let me explain my "acquired taste" phrase. It's one of those regional foods that one hears a lot about here and you feel like you're missing out if you don't try it. So when I lived in Trenton another non-NJ friend and I bought some. We tried it as suggested and were shocked at how ...uninteresting it is and how out-of-proportion its press. I was looking at it the wrong way- I thought it was something that one added to an egg-and cheese sandwich that would punch it up a bit, like bacon would. In fact, the egg, cheese, and bread are there to make the TPR interesting.

So in searching for a justification for its continued existence in a global world of good food and affluence, the only thing we could come up with was that it was something people retained an affection for because they grew up with it.

I'm going to stop there because I can sense the daggers pointed my way
