Midwest As Frickin' Heck: Goetta (Pics)

inspired by BJ Penn Forever's Scrapple thread, i picked up some Goetta on the way home from work

unless you live within maybe 100 miles of cincinnati, you probably aren't going to find it. if you do, its next to the breakfast sausage. basically, Goetta is a poor person's way of stretching meat to feed more people just like meatloaf. in this case, it's sausage made from beef, pork, various organ meats, oats, onions and herbs/spices. 

here's the local way to do it up:

start with two farm eggs:

cut your goetta ("jetta") into 2.5 x 2.5 x 1/4 squares and throw them on a hot skillet:

let one side brown ENTIRELY before you flip them. you'll only want to flip them once:

build your stack on some toast -- in this case, soda bread. top with spicy mustard and/or red pepper jam:

shoot for over-medium on the eggs so you get just enough of that runny goodness:

I wish I liked eggs. A fried egg on a sandwhich or burger has always look so good to me. 

Goetta is the shit. 

I like it sliced thin. 

Crispy on the outside soft in the middle.

You can order it online. For those of you outta reach.

truth. i think it's pretty pricey, though? the point of goetta is it's cheap af. a roll of glier's cost me 3.50 at kroger

people keep telling me the local butcher stuff is way better, but i like the mass produced glier's. that MSG hits good.

Someone made a scrapple thread???

did anyone make a pork roll thread?

We have something similar in certain parts of the south called Slugburgers.

I've had some from a couple different butchers. One of them was good but the rest not so much. People have different tastes. 

Looks fantastic

1. Goetta

2. Taylor Ham

13. Scrapple 

That’s it. That’s the order.

It is not pronounced "jetta" it's pronounced "get-uh" and we put cinnamon in our chili!

not surprised a place that

pronounces its own name "L'uhll-vul"would fuck that up 

Well I live in Columbus, so maybe I could find some. I am curious now.

I’ll try that mustard next time I’m in OH.

We have our own version here and I use it on every kind of sandwich:
