I spent this morning making Goetta. Goetta is a german traditional breakfast food. The recipe that I have was given to me by my dad, and he got it from his sister-in-law, my Aunt Gracie, who I belive used the same one as my grandma Wuennemann pictured here on her wedding day. Note any family resemblance? No? But I did look a lot like this when I was young. Anyway, I was talking to my brother while I was cooking and we went online and found several recipes though most of them were the same. Funny, but my recipe is the only I found that calls for tapioca. We found some that added sage and thyme for spices, I added some to half of this batch to see what that is like. Anyone out there heard or ever tasted Goetta? So far it seems to be a Cincinnati metro area food. It is even sold in the stores under the brand name of Gliers. It takes about 3 hours to cook the traditional way, but I also saw where someone has converted it to a slow cooker recipe. Next time I would like to try that too. Time to bring this family favorite into the 21st Century.
