Goetta beats Jimmy Dean's Anyday!

For those of you who are from Cincinnati, married to someone from there, or related to someone from there, the following pictures will make perfect sense.  And they will make you yearn for a pair of fried eggs, salt and butter to put on the rye bread so you can make a goetta sandwich.  For those of you unfortunate enough to be from other, less civilized parts of the US and the world, let me try to explain.

Goetta (pronounced "getta", as in "getta job" and "getta life already!") is one of those rare, epicurean delights limited to a very small area of the world.  Originally a German dish, goetta serves as a sausage, cereal, hash, and sandwich.  It is so good babies love it.  And they grow up loving it.  And then they make it for their families.  We are single-handedly creating a new generation of goetta lovers.  Alex is so in love with goetta he wants to go to the Goetta Fest (yes, a festival solely for the appreciation of goetta) next August in Cincinnati.
