Gotta Get Goetta

Published on Thursday, October 19, 2006, by C. Thi Nguyen / Edit Post

Goetta is a breakfast sausage, well known to Cincinnatians. It’s very similar to scrapple, but goetta is made with steel cut oats instead of cornmeal. The oats give it a definite heartiness. It’s sliced from a roll, and served fried up alongside eggs.

Goetta doesn’t stray far from Cincinnati, but you can order the real deal here.

    I am from Iowa originally and my father grew up with German "gritz loaf" My brother and I both love it and when I go back dad has 5 to 10 one pound packs for me to take back to LA. The reciepes may differ in the ingredients and the texture as we have had a dryer loaf that didn't cook as well. What we get and how we prepare it is a little different too. Still fried in pan or electric skillet, as my dad uses, we break it up and try to get it thin and fry it crispy (I tend to flip and press to get nice crispy flat pieces) On the Meat Markets label it reads: Gritz Loaf ingredients: pork, water, beef, beef hearts, oatmeal, salt, spices. I see why my aunt doesn't like it. I had a loaf this morning and thought I would look for it again this time I found this forum and then this recipe seems to be very similar it's on page nine called German Grits in the following link if it posts http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/foods/he176w.htm or pdf file http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/foods/fn176.pdf thanks CG in LA-COLLAPSE
