Oh yeah, night and day difference. People who have never had goetta will say, "Oh, it is like scrapple." People who have never had scrapple will say, "They have something like goetta in Philly - it's called scrapple."
I've had both. The best comparison I could give you - and I have never eaten cow shit, but I can't imagine it tasting good - is if you asked someone if they liked steak and they said, "Well, I have never had it but I have had something like steak called cow shit," or, "Oh yeah, I like steak, and I hear some people eat something a lot like it called cow shit."
Goetta is the steak in that analogy, and scrapple is the cow shit.

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
