From: “Best of the City” -Cincinnati Magazine
Classic Cincinnati: Any local butcher worth his knives makes his own rendition of goetta, the only-in-Cincinnati sausage. The basics are simple: pin oats (a kind of whole oat, cooked only until it’s still nutty) and pork, er, products, formed into a long, square loaf. And many Cincinnatians have their favorite among the renditions, be it Glier’s, Hoffman’s, Finke’s or Kroeger’s. But in a recent taste test, a thick slab from Eckerlin Meats in Findlay Market beat out the bunch. The sausage tastes fully of pork, not pork fat, and is richly spiced and not too salty. And Eckerlin’s goetta can further hold its own against a heavy drizzle of maple syrup. Findlay Market House, Over-the-Rhine, (513) 721-5743

Goetta: Local Flavor
Trying to explain your affection for that Cincinnati specialty, goetta, to somebody who didn’t grow up eating it is, well, difficult. In mere words, it does not sound particularly appealing. Frugal German immigrants working in Cincinnati’s meatpacking plants gathered scraps of pork and put them to use in a sausage-like concoction. The other ingredients are plain: steel-cut pinhead oats, bay leaf, onion, and pepper. Pretty homey stuff. But the best food is just that. The best in town? Eckerlin’s.
