EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Jack Ciattarelli showed up to the Giants tailgate at MetLife Stadium handing out pork roll, egg and cheese sandwiches—a pointed nod to New Jersey’s breakfast pride.

The Giants went on to “Pork Roll” the Eagles 34-17.

Ciattarelli served up the delicious pork product beloved by millions in New Jersey to show his opponent that she’s one of the few people in the state who thinks pork roll (or Taylor Ham) is gross.

The tailgate party comes amid a swirling controversy after his opponent, U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, was quoted saying, “Who eats pork roll? I think that’s gross,” which Ciattarelli’s team immediately used to challenge her New Jersey authenticity.

A battle over breakfast became political

The so-called Taylor ham versus pork roll debate is more than culinary: it’s a regional marker in New Jersey, with “Taylor ham” used mostly in the north and “pork roll” more common in central and southern counties.

Ciattarelli’s campaign amplified Sherrill’s remark in digital ads and social media, framing it as evidence she’s out of touch with quintessential Jersey culture.

After all, she’s from Virginia, and who knows what team she follows, if any. One thing is certain.

There’s a direct correlation between delicious New Jersey pork roll and victory. Ciattarelli is hoping that correlation helps him on Election Day.
