Another fun thing to do with goetta is make Scotch eggs using goetta instead of regular sausage. Not something I do more often than once or twice a year 'cause I hate the cleanup required when using the deep fryer. But I'm always happy with the finished product.

Haven't seen goetta at any of my local stores, here in NC.  But, I'm betting that I can find it, somewhere..

Oh. know that the best sausage in the Evans family is actually made by Bob's cousin, Steve Evans.

If you ever find yourself in that area, I suggest trying and buying some Steve Evans Sausage.
