41. Ohio: Goetta

Weirdest Food Goetta is a beloved regional dish in Ohio, especially around the Cincinnati area. It’s a hearty mixture of ground pork (sometimes beef), steel-cut oats, onions, and spices, all cooked together and then formed into a loaf. Once cooled, it’s sliced and pan-fried until crispy on the outside and tender inside Originally brought by German immigrants, Goetta is a breakfast staple in many Ohio homes and diners. Often served with eggs and toast, it reflects the state’s strong German-American roots and its love for flavorful, stick-to-your-ribs comfort food.
