Should be thawed by Saturday. That's what I get for buying a 21 pound frozen bird on Monday. This package of the famous NJ pork disc came with the mythical 7th slice, a rare but welcomed occurrence

What is this mythical 7th slice?

Does it come in the pack of thick slices (4), or thin (8)?

I didn't get Taylor Jersey Pork Discs but ShopRite thin & tangy, 6 slices. Occasionally you get a 7th slice but it's a pretty rare occurrence.

My husband and I got the 7th slice 2 weeks in a row and thought we hit the jackpot 😂 didn’t hit it 3 weeks though.

Shop rite brand, as I understand it, is made by Case.

You could grab a log of the stuff and slice it how you like.

For next time, just brine it. I had a 20lb bird that was still pretty solid Wednesday morning. Immerse the bird in a big pot with .5lbs of salt and brown sugar each plus some warm but not hot water, then throw it in the fridge. It'll thaw much faster.

This is clearly a bastardized sandwich. You are forever banned from NJ. What the hell kind of bread is that?!?

Have mercy, it's the only bread I had. Believe me, I was wishing I had picked up 2 hard rolls when I got the Jersey pork discs on Monday the whole time I was cooking it. Sometimes improvising is needed.

Improvising, yes, I understand -- but stores were open today too, so don't think you are forgiven for "it's the only bread I had." But, you did get a runny yolk...

Also, "Jersey pork discs" lol.

Happy thanksgiving.

Pork roll, egg, and cheese will forever be an acceptable breakfast/lunch/dinner in the great state of NJ! Hope your turkey thaws sooner than later. Happy Thanksgiving!

I was wondering why your plate looked familiar…my mom sent me this in a picture today

LOL, I've got a gravy boat exactly like that. Got the set from a neighbor that was moving so I don't know where it was bought. Hope your Thanksgiving was good

Wasn’t Wawa open? Gobblers are as legitimate a Thanksgiving meal as any home-cooked spread, just saying.

I miss back when the gobblers were good... now the turkey tastes like cat food.

Millburn Deli has the only good gobbler in the state. No other location COMPARES

kudos to you for cooking a proper egg for that sandwich, one with a proper runny yolk. i hate that most every place that makes them smashes the yolks so they're completely cooked thru.

Nah, a proper one is meant to be able to be a to go sandwich. You simply can't do a yolk like that as a to go sandwich, way too messy. You'd only be able to make one like this if dining in or doing it yourself at home. I'm not disputing whether or not it is better tasting, but if it's not quick and easy handheld food for that always on the go commuter Jersey life, it's not a proper sandwich. A proper sandwich would be wrapped in paper and would be leaking yolk because it was squeezed into the sandwich wrap if it was cooked like that.

You can also cook a frozen turkey in the oven. It will obviously take much, much longer though.

Bruh- big plastic tub in the shower with trickling cold water over it! Defrosts a big frozen bird over night.

The next time I visit Jersey I’m stocking up on Taylor Ham. I live outside of Albany, NY, now and it isn’t available here.

I love Taylor ham egg and cheese but that looks horrid. Undercooked meat, runny yolk with nothing to absorb it, and I will never understand why people put ketchup on eggs…. Try a little mustard on the meat side and butter on the egg side. 😋

I dunno about the only other meal.

No, no, no. People! We gotta draw the line somewhere. This "hey look, it's a pork roll/Taylor ham sandwich, give me karma" shit has to end. This isn't a name debate comment. We gotta come together and tell people no, you aren't going to abuse us, and the great holiday of Thanksgiving for some karma farming. For fuck sake, it's on white bread that looks like it's from a bag. Like bro, if it's not a kaiser roll or a bagel, it's not acceptable as a breakfast sandwich in New Jersey.

As I write this, it has 121 upvotes. I beg of you my fellow Jersey people, put a stop to this. Say no to such low effort karma farming and especially such low effort sandwiches and take a stand! Speak up and downvote so that actual good posts and good sandwiches make it to the front page.
