Goetta is a Cincinnati-Northern-Kentucky pork-and-pinhead-oats breakfast porridge, sliced into golden pan-fried slabs and served alongside eggs and toast.
Goetta arrived with German immigrants from the 1840s onward, especially from northern Germany and the Rhineland-Westphalia area. The pork-and-grain porridge stretched cheap meat into a hearty breakfast. Robert Glier's Meats opened in Covington, Kentucky in 1946 and became the dominant brand. The Glier's Goettafest, held over two weekends in late July and early August in Newport, draws hundreds of thousands.
