Hillshire Farms Polish Sausage isn’t even real Polish Sausage. They may not have hard rolls in Chicago, but at least they do Polish Sausage right by making it an alternative to a hot dog. Mmm. Right now, I could really go for a Polish with relish, raw onions, a slice of tomato, and a sprinkle of celery salt.

The other comfort food I’ve never seen outside of NJ is sausage and potatoes (or hot dog and potatoes) on a Portuguese roll. Yummy.

Kielbasa, we got. Great little place right near my house makes their own. My lawyer (a guy from Long Island) gets the meat without casings and makes a half burger, half kielbasa burger for tailgating.

The Navy took me from Jersey (New Brunswick area) many years ago and landed me here in Norfolk, VA. I understand completely the Virgina Beach complaint. We used to get real kielbasa, cut it into small pieces and include it with the egg and peppers on the roll. HEAVEN!!!
Can’t get good kielbasa here either. Folks here think Hillshire Farms Polish Sausage is the real thing.

Jimbo,
You’re killin me. An egg & pepper sandwich is merely the thing of dreams out here in Denver.

I’d also commit mayhem for a simple buttered hard roll with my second cup of coffee.

PS to Moos
A buddy of mine went down to Virginia Beach and asked for a hard roll at breakfast. The confused waitress came back in a minute and said “I’m sorry Sir, we only have fresh rolls”

Craig,

Maybe it is a Jersey Thing, and maybe you had to be there. Anyway, it would be as if some guy from New York City was telling ol’ Sarpy Sam about some really “great animals” he had just “discovered” down the road that “…were big and black with horns and all, and they were eating grass! You won’t believe your eyes! You gotta check them out!” To which Sam would have said, “Waddya call them animals? Giraffes?”

I hope that helps.

Huh? Peppers and eggs are served on crusty rolls in any decent pizzeria in Queens. I love peppers & eggs. We’re probably the only Montanans who eat pepperoni & eggs for breakfast - yum. . .

Yes, the buttered roll as breakfast - wonderful!
I tried explaining this to my MT husband. He already knows that I’m strange.

The best was when I was somewhere upstate NY & a friend asked for an egg on a roll. The waitress looked baffled. She returned with a fried egg on top of a cinnamon roll.

It must be a Jersey thing because I confess that I don’t get it.

When I lived in Chicago, I had some issues with the food. The pizza is great, but Chicagoans are missing out on the perfect breakfast when you’re on the run: the buttered roll. In fact, you can’t even get proper hard rolls in that town. The closest they have is the kaiser roll, a shoddy imitation covered in poppy seeds.
