Andy_Copland 0 #1 December 3, 2008 QuoteGoetta is a peasant food of German origin that is popular in the greater Cincinnati area. It is primarily composed of ground meat and oats. Pronounced gétt-aa, ged-da or get-uh Americanized Pronunciation, this dish originated with German settlers from the northwestern regions of Oldenburg, Hannover, and Westphalia who emigrated to the Cincinnati area in the 19th century. The word "Goetta" comes from the Low German word götte. Goetta was originally a peasant dish, meant to stretch out servings of meat over several meals to conserve money. The modern popularity of goetta in Cincinnati has led to it being called "Cincinnati Caviar". Glier's Goetta, the largest commercial producer of goetta, produces more than 1,000,000 lb (450 metric tons) annually, around 99% of which is consumed locally in greater Cincinnati. I just had some of this for breakfast at some local cafe. I gotta say its pretty fucking good. Its like scottish black pudding minus the thick layer of pigs blood.1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

jtnesbitt 0 #2 December 3, 2008 I've only had it on a BLT and with pancakes. I think it's ok. Seems to take on flavors of what it is cooked with or served with."If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ifall 0 #3 December 3, 2008 You know, I've lived in Cincinnati or in the immediate area, for all my life and I've never tried it. I've heard its a great cure for that morning after head spinning hangover. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #4 December 3, 2008 In the mid-atlantic states, we have Scrapple. Nearly the same thing: finely-ground cooked pork with sage, salt & black pepper, mixed with cornmeal (as opposed to oats used in goetta) to form a loaf. You slice pieces off & fry them in a pan. YUM!
