Can we just have a thread to talk?

What Is Goetta?

Goetta, a German dish, is often compared to

breakfast sausage or scrapple. It is a unique,

delicious and nutritious mixture of pork, beef,

steel-cut (pinhead) oats, and seasonings,

which is carefully prepared by the Goetta

Specialists at Glier's. This product is often

packaged in one pound rolls or is fresh cut at

the grocery or restaurant from larger blocks.

Most people enjoy Glier's Goetta at breakfast

as a side dish with eggs or pancakes.

Glier's Goetta would like to thank everyone

who has, and continues to, support Glier's

and our famous Goetta. Quite often we hear

stories from our customers who have great

memories and traditions built around serving

Glier's Goetta. We want to share with you

some of the wonderful stories we've received.

We hope that you enjoy these as much as we

do! To view all of the stories we have

Looks like sausage to me.

Take out the oatmeal and that's what you've got!

Looks like sausage to me.

the picture is deceiving, while it resembles a sausage patty it in no way tastes like or has the consistancy of sausage. It can be made in the home. I used to make it from scratch, just easier to buy it in rolls.

[Mike.357]

its not oatmeal, pin oats are different.

I'm feeling the need for some Memphis-style bbq spaghetti.

Makes me wanna dance just thinking about it.

I like sweet corn bread, that white dry stuff is nasty.

Tea does not have to be "sweet Tea" There is a little invention you all may need to know about. It is called a tea spoon, a few spoon fulls of sugar in your tea gives you sweetened tea. Tastes the same to me as the holy "sweet tea" does. Anyway I prefer my tea unsweetened with a few lemon wedges. Not a big sugar fan.

If the sugar is added to cold tea, it tastes different. Your taste buds have just been desensitized by all that Yankee food to the point that you can't tell.

Carbonated soft drinks in Cincinnati were called "pop" In Chicagoland they were called soda. I worked with a guy from south west Illinois, he called soda "sodey"

In Florida it was called soda. I call it soda.

It's Coke. It's all Coke. "I'll have a Coke." "Okay, what kind?"

Pancakes are good, waffles are fair. I like bacon better than sausage in general, but if forced to eat sausage it better be links. Sausage patties suck. And being from Cincinnati I will only eat bacon, sausage, or any other form of breakfast meat under protest. I was raised on a breakfast meat called "goetta". If you aren't from there I seriously doubt you have the first clue as to what it is. But I will tell you, it is a close to perfection as any breakfast food can get. When people visit from home they have to bring it, if any of us goes to Cincy it must be brought back in sufficient quantities to make it until the next trip. it is great with eggs over easy, heavenly with pancakes and syrup on them, delicious on the fork mixed with egg yolk, home fries salt and pepper. You have not lived until you have had it for breakfast.

Looks like sausage to me, and I'd bet it's nowhere nearly as good as the homemade sausage blocks (to make patties) in my freezer.

But the downside is none of you are worthy. The perfect breakfast for me is three eggs over easy, well done home fries, goetta, rye bread toast with butter and blackberry preserves.

Just go back to Cincy then! I'll stick with my fried eggs, hash browns, bacon, and grits. I'll bet you have one of those Starbucks coffees with your breakfast, doncha? Mochalattefrappawhoozitspressochino? With skim soymilk?

chili should be watery and served over thin spaghetti, covered then by kidney beans and onions, smothered in finen shredded cheddar cheese. (if you have ever had Skyline, you know what I am talking about)

If you can not stand the stirring spoon straight up in the chili pot, the chili is not done. Chili should be served in a bowl, occasionally with cheese.

Yeah. That sounds more like it.

I love it:rofl:

[bukowski548]

Mike I've been to the original Skyline in Cincy. My wife said the snarl on my face was epic when they brought that noodly watery cheesey mess to the table. I was only able to eat two orders. They sell it at Krogers ya know.

Unfortunately I didn't try the brats, I was told by a local that metts were the best. They were.. meh. Wish I had gone for the brats.

But what I miss most about Ohio.... Graeters. If they had been hiring when I went in, I'd be on ohgunowners.com right now. Damn.

buk

P.S. I said damn!

[Mike.357]

Memphis-style bbq spaghetti.

I am not sure there is much anything I like that has come from memphis other than burgers cooked in 100 year old grease

[bukowski548]

Food is really a hot "nothing" topic in TN I see.

Food is like a religion in Tennessee. If you could see pictures of everyone on this board, you could tell we went to church a lot!

[Mike.357]

56Fordguy, your post proves to me you all don't know about good food. I don't drink coffee either. Good rebuttal though, I will give you that, LOL, Yep good stuff. Heck its food, even when it sucks it is good!!

bukowski, one way to tell if someone is from Cincy or not when eating Skyline is the manner in which they eat the 3-way ( or 4-way or 5-way). Did you try to swirl it on your fork or did you cut it with the edge of the fork then slide the fork under to pick it up? The cheese holds it all together. Cheese coneys (with onions) is what I usually get at a skyline. I am aware of Skyline at Krogers. My wife makes it once in a while. Usually we get packets of Cincinnati Chili Mix and she makes it from that. When we run out we get a relative to mail us some more.

Graeters is good, but that stuff is more east side than west side. I am from the West Side. Ice cream on the west side came from the UDF, (United Dairy Farmer's). There were all over the place back then.

Brats definitely better than metts. Sometimes she finds white brats at the Kroger here. They are good but not like from home. Queen City Brats are the best. Of course none of it matters anymore since the Hudepohl Brewery went out of business.

That was the day my allegiance to Cincinnati died. Except for the curse I bear that is the Cincinnati Bengals, and the blessing that is my high school.

oh, and one thing I cannot believe.

We are talking food and SUNTZU has not chimed in?????

[Rightwinger]

Let's talk about Yeti, Sasquatch, the Big Foot!

Apparently, according to a show in cable, we have quite a few sightings here in Tennessee! Amazing. So who has seen one? Or for that matter, anything weird while hunting or out and about.

I have no good stories here. About the weirdest thing we have seen was the top of a cedar tree ripped up and apparently eaten with the weirdest looking droppings below it. We call it the "black varmint" but no one has bagged one to find out what eats cedar tree tops.

[Guest m&pc9]

I have seen Sasquatch. This last time at Myrtle Beach.

[Guest Jcochran88]

I've seen a hairless bigfoot.

I'm sorry, but the very statement you made about chili only good when watery, and not drinking coffee disqualify you from determining who knows good food. In any case, I agree. Even when food sucks, it's better than no food.

By the way, I was in Knoxville today. It's been a while since I got out that way, I forgot what a gorgeous landscape y'all have over there. I love those hills.

[Wingshooter]

I lived in Cincy for a while. I always thought Skyline and GoldStar chili were like TacoBell meat, just not as good.

[Wingshooter]

Anybody else get one of these on your trail cam?

[Guest m&pc9]

Can we send Nashville attorneys David Randolph Smith & Adam Dread, A condolences card or a go to he** card. Ive got it a loser card.

She was in Gulf Shores last week.

Had Skyline when I was up there last year. Yumm, Taco Bell.

Mochalattefrappawhoozitspressochino's is hilarious. I do like espresso, real honest to God espresso. No reason to drink fifteen cups of coffee when one little one will do the trick. If your last name ended in a vowel, you'd probably like them as well.

When it comes to food, I love Italian food, and I'm not talking about the bologna alfredo they serve at the Olive Garden.

My mother's side of the family had their house pushed up to a few thousand feet by the Appalachian Mountains when the mountains decided to rise up out of the earth. My many times removed great grandfather Old Rivers was mad when his flat fields turned into cliffs and valleys. Breakfast on that side of the family is the best. Big cathead biscuits, gravy that you can cut and serve like pie, eggs over medium cooked in sausage grease, sausage, milk, OJ, bacon that's almost a 1/4" thick, steak, hotcakes, molasses, taters, fresh fruit (no idea why ), apple turnovers, and on and on.

Mom picked up on how to cook Italian food and country food like a champ...and she caters now, which is why I have such a fine athletic figure. Dang, hungry again....

I can't hardly eat that tomatoey thick Wendy's like chili. I am not a very big fan of tomatoes anyway. So basically any food that is red can go away. Cincinnati chili is brown, actually there is chocolate in it among other delicious ingrediants.

Can't do coffee, I can't get past the nasty stale burnt smell of the stuff. Always hated how it smelled in out house every morning. Seriously I dunno how you all drink it.

Yep gotta love the hills and mountains here. They are why we chose this place when we bailed from south Florida

I lived in Cincy for a while. I always thought Skyline and GoldStar chili were like TacoBell meat, just not as good.

Thats is just blatant lie. Gold Star is not that good, but I believe it is the sour onions they use. The chili there is fair at best. TacoBell meat is just this side of rancid. When we lived in Illinois they caught a Mexican who was working at our local Taco Bell pooping in the taco meat, have not eaten Taco Bell since. And of course if any of youi remember Zantigo you would not eat Taco bell anyway. Zantigo was a fast food mexican place like Taco Bell, but the food was actually good.

I can believe that about Taco Bell. It is the original "mystery meat".

My wife actually loves Skyline, but I just can't do it.
