last night paul and I went to the goetta festival in kentucky. goetta is this odd little breakfast meat with pork or beef or both and steel cut oats and spices all ground up and mixed together. it’s a regional food. the goetta festival, as you can imagine, provides you with goetta in all shapes sizes and forms.
we ate a goetta corn dog, which I forgot to take a picture of mostly because it was actually paul’s and I just tasted it. texture-wise it was a little bit weird cause you had the crispy corndog outside and then the goetta in the middle was kind of mushy.
then we had the goetta chedda cheese, which is a grilled cheese with goetta. this was my preferred goetta food of the evening.
next came goetta pizza from papa johns, which paul and I both agreed was not that great. it was basically papa johns cheese sticks with goetta on top. you couldn’t really taste the goetta, so it seemed like a waste of time.
for dessert we had cherry strudel, as there was no goetta dessert options and we were getting sort of full. if I had been still hungry and if it had been cheap I would have eaten the goetta gumbalaya or the goetta and rice from the chinese place. but I’m sure we got our moneys worth with what we did eat.
you better be keeping up with the food blogs next year. gosh that looked soo good
