Ask a guy from New Jersey anything...

Until someone can present me with conclusive evidence that there is a product more meatysaltysweetdelicious than bacon, I refuse to believe it. So far, all I've heard is hearsay testimony from people who drink from the same water source.

Are you able to provide the aforementioned conclusive evidence to support your claim?

If I can figure out how to send pork roll to Cali without it getting all nasty, then you have yourself a deal. Just one thing - after you have it and are addicted, I'm your only dealer. Stay away from these other 'roll dealers... their stuff ain't da prime, yo.
 
Tell me, dear Relic; old buddy, old pal, old compatriot from the aviation enthusiasts thread (No, I'm not trying to borrow money :p)

Why do people always try to make fun of New Jersey, when it's actually a very nice state?

Has anyone driven around Passaic, Sussex, Warren and Hunterdon counties?

They're nice! Invalid Link Removed

I'm not familiar with the south, except Belmar, and the area around there, which is also nice.

Jersey lover, Mike. ;)

Mike,Mike Mike you DO realize that dispelling the "stinky dirty Jersey" myth is like telling a room full, neigh a coutry-full of kindergartners that there is no Santa!? Dammit man, THEY ARE NOT READY!!
 
Go ahead, don't be shy. Whattya wanna know? I mean you see The Sopranos and The Jersey Shore, you see us NJ people posting here and think "damn those guys are awesome.." So, here I am- your own personal representative from one of the most misunderstood and much maligned states in the whole US of A. Ask me something. Anything, and I'll answer it from a NJ guy's perspective.

What positives exist to outweigh the obvious and extreme negatives to the extent one wouldn't move out at the first opportunity?

What is the average flight speed of an unladen swallow?

If you can figure out how to get it to me, I will take the challenge of Pork Roll vs. bacon. If, for some ungodly reason, this mythical Pork Roll thingy is actually better than bacon (as if that's even possible), I will henceforth become an active advocate of the Pork Roll.

I still suspect it's something in the NJ water that is skewing your perception of flavor.
