There was a lovely filling soup, with chard stalks, carrots, potatoes, onion, ginger and some gluten free pasta and I entered it for the ginger challenge.
I've got another 2 recipes coming up...but must attend to my oven.

I personally will not eat it. Tried it once, and that was once too many times.

Taylor ham/pork roll is processed meat with a unique taste, pork roll has resisted accurate description and is sometimes referred to as a mystery meat. It contains lightly smoked pork, salt, preservative, and spices

I've never tried it, but I am not much into ham unless it's diced in an omelet or quiche or cooked to beyond tender in a bean soup. So it sounds similar to SPAM? Edited to add the excerpt from your link:

Speaking of quiche with ham in it (it also had sauteed mushrooms, peppers, onions, mustard greens and lots of cheese), I had leftover that for breakfast.

Never had SPAM so don't know, but if it tastes anything like Taylor ham, I'll pass.

I must have been about 6-7 when my mother put it (SPAM) on a plate and put it in front of me. I think that's the last time I ate it. I suppose if it was cooked properly with lots of other delicious ingredients to balance it out (kaneohegirlinaz probably knows ways to make it taste good) I might eat it.
 
Nice autumnal day here so I'm taking wife out for lunch.. to the leithfield hotel to be exact. We will play the pokies something I do about 3 times a year .
Dinner tonight something small and quick.

medtran49 IMHO Spam and Taylor's Ham (Pork Roll) tastes very similar.
I grew up eating Spam with more of an Asian influence.
I was introduced to Pork Roll aka Taylor's Ham after meeting my DH and I make it how he grew up eating that Pork product.
That very first time I had Taylor's Ham, I brought some back to Hawaii, frozen in my suitcase.
I made Sunday Brunch for my parents and DH.
DH asked his father-in-law (Hawaiian-born & raised on Oahu) what he thought of Taylor's Ham ... "Tastes like Spam to me."
DH was appalled!
:laugh:
And by the by, Spam no longer has any "goo or come in the can..." it hasn't for many many years.
