Nj residents: will literally fight each other over region and food names

Also nj residents: will literally, and with extreme prejudice kill anyone that even talks badly on nj

It’s me. I’m nj residents. Central jersey exists. It’s called pork roll. And I’ll fight anyone that says otherwise.

With love ❤️

Curious… is New Brunswick in central? I used to say that but then someone from Princeton said it was north so idk.

I don’t care either way, things are just either close to my home or far lol. And I’m from an immigrant family but grew up in NJ so I didn’t know what taylorham pork roll even was until college. I just know it’s really good in a breakfast sandwich.

Tbh I have no idea. I grew up in Woodbridge township and was told it was central. Now I think anything south of the Driscoll bridge is central.

Currently live in Delanco and they say it’s south but is basically east Philly with less gun shots.

So who knows.

I would say so, but New Brunswick still leans north, as it is closer to Elizabeth, Edison and Newark, places which are definitely north

Yeah I get that, but having grown up in Morris, and then going to New Brunswick, it’s kinda strange to think of those two places as one region

Everything in Middlesex County is Central.

I was going to argue with you about Central Jersey existing, but your unique approach to terminology has won me over. I find North Jersey, Pork Roll, South Jersey, and the Shore to be acceptable regions.
