Pork Roll

As always it seems humor here, but also food, so enjoy this yummy treat...

Pork Roll…


 


On a bun with cheese,


On a bagel oh please,


So much salt to make my heart freeze,


But oh is it good, my appetite it does appease…


 


Only a New Jersey delicacy or as far as I have found,


Have taken to my friend’s in the west, south and around,


Taylor makes the best I think,


Hate to think what it takes to make it; it must really stink…


 


The packaging says lots of fat and cholesterol,


Sodium too, about 360 milligrams,


Can almost feel my arteries hardening,


What doesn’t kill you, will make you stronger, I don’t give a damn…

To hell with "a little of what you fancy does you good..." - how about a whole lot, and hey! let's live a little! Life is a question of choice as to how you live it, and if the pleasures are denied, then the heart may as well stop beating anyway!! ... And, Ed, if polishing your automobiles until they glint with radiation floats your boat, then take all that I say in "Childish" with a good pinch of salt! Who am I to know - they may be to you as a long line of beautiful women whom you have wooed and wedded... each to his own, after all!! :)) LOL Kate xx

"I don't give a damn!"

You are definitely on a Pork Roll, here, my friend! And I bet The Farm Girl, Tinky, could give you a marvelous recipe for pork rolls.

I just read this believe it or not. Adding a teaspoon of angostura bitters to make gas smell better? Oh well but what flavor?
