YouTubeDoes anyone know where the Cincinnati delicacy goetta can be purchased in Columbus? My Queen City-native husband is a big fan and I've searched high and low in the area to no avail. I cannot help but think it is hiding on a shelf somewhere in this nearby city. Any suggestions?

site says it sold at Krogers and Walmart. Served at Bigboy."Glier’s Goetta is available at many retailers and restaurants in the Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati area including..." -- maybe their idea of "greater" is more expansive than I'd realized.
Anyway, yeah, red and white wrapper sounds right, and if it's not theirs I don't know whose it'd be. Thanks for the tip, Rory!

I was just eating some as I found this thread. I've never been able to find it in town, so I'm glad to hear about it the Kroger on High and 7th.
I've been making my own for years. You could surprise him with a big batch.
1 pkg Pinhead/Steelcut Oatmeal (I find it in the organic section of Kroger, brand: Bob's Red Mill)
12 cups water
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
2 lbs. ground pork
1 large onion, diced
6 bay leaves
4 1/2 tsp. salt
pepper to tasteAdd salt, pepper and oatmeal to boiling water. Cook 2 hours, stirring often, (every 15 minutes at least) covered over low heat.
Add the meats, onion, bay leaves. Mix well. Cook 1 hour stirring often.
I pour it into 10 little aluminum bread pans, remove bay leaves when found. When cool, cover and place in refrigerator or freeze.
I pan fry it, sliced like meatloaf. Served with a little maple syrup on top.

It's gone. They've replaced their whole specialty sausage area with "Lunchables".
2 for $3 with your Kroger's card. There's really no reason to go there ever again as far as I'm concerned.what about the massive selection of 40s and steel reserve?
back on topic... what makes this stuff so good? I don;t think I've ever had it.

It's just really tasty like scrapple but with more texture. (not too dissimilar to haggis) You fry slices and it gets really crispy.
And it's meat mixed with oatmeal so it must be cholesterol neutral.... ;-p

He's a Glier's Hot kind of guy...but hobbesosu's recipe looks waaaaaay better than 'real' Goetta -- which I believe contains pork pieces (scraps and organs).
I think it tastes like a ground-up greasy breaded pork chop.
I lived in Cincy for almost five years and tried it a handful of times but never got the taste for it.
Thanks for all the help.

Just avoid ground Italian sausage, as it turned out tasting really odd.

That said, the recipe I've used has 2 pounds meat to 8 cups water & 2.5 cups oatmeal, which actually turns into a pretty high oatmeal to meat ratio. Less healthy than oatmeal, to be sure; but not nearly as bad for you as an equivalent quantity of straight sausage (or anything close). And given that people often doctor up a bowl of oatmeal with a lot of sugar, butter, and/or cream.... Anyway, as I was making it I found myself thinking that goetta might not fare too poorly, relatively speaking, if the metric is deliciousness divided by deadliness.
