Pork Roll Substitute


OK Gotta make some more Pork Roll, because of a substitution.
I ordered a couple Chubs of “Bob Evans” Sausage, and Giant was out of it, so they subbed Pork Roll instead.
That just plain won’t work for what I ordered it for!!!

So for the first night, I cut 7 slices of Pork Roll, and Fried them up in a Copper Pan.
That was 5 slices for me & 2 for Mrs Bear.
I gave her a Burger Bun & I used the last one & 2 slices of bread for my other one, because we ran out of Buns.
And that first night I used Plain Yellow Mustard, and some Olives on the side.

Then the second night, I sliced up the rest of the Pork Roll, and put 2 slices one each of a single slice of Bread.
Then I folded the Bread in half around the Pork Roll slices. I used Koops’ Spicy Mustard on these 3 Sammies.
Had a couple Deviled Eggs with these.


That’s about it for that Roll of Pork Roll.

Enough for first night:

I have never heard of Pork Roll, it looks kinda like bologna.
 
Looks good Bear! Im with Warren, ive never had pork roll. Would love to try it. Better yet I would love to make it.
 
Looks great Bear! I love pork roll, so it’s not a bad substitution to have....but sucks to hear you couldn’t use the sausage for your intended purpose.

Like!
 
Looks great Bear! Love Pork Roll since childhood. I order in from NJ, as I must have mentioned before. LOL.
I tried it with Gulden's spicy mustard and it was good. I also use Heinz ketchup more regularly, and swiss cheese on the sandwiches once in a while. Just had 2 Pork Roll and Scrambled egg on Hard Rolls last night.
 
Looks good bear. No pork roll down here but I've always wanted to try one
Jake, Publix here in Ga carries it, maybe Publix near you has it too? They only carry the thin sliced prepackaged, but it's better than nothing.

Looks awesome, Bear! My mother’s side of the family is originally from Philadelphia and I grew up around Taylor Pork Roll. If you’ve never tried it, get your hands on some and do like Bear did...you’ll love it! 😋

Looks delicous bear! That's quite the sub for sausage.

Thank You Jim!!
LOL---I wanted to mix it with Ground Beef, to come up with something to replace My Deerburger, if I can't get it any more.That obviously won't work wit Pork Roll.
And Thanks for the Like.

Thank You Brian!!
I would say the closest flavor to Pork Roll, would be a Good Tasting Hot Dog.
