I meant to mention this earlier, but it also contains beef in the original version - not only pork as was suggested early on in the thread.

Also - and this will sound crazy but I swear it is true - if you have to buy it in the sausage rolls then do so, but if you can find a shop that sells it in square blocks buy it that way - for some reason it cooks up much better in that form. I used to buy 10 pound blocks squares, and either ask the butcher to cut it into one inch strips or just take it home and slice it up and freeze most of it. The block is the way to go - if a whole block is too much ask your butcher to slice off what you need and they usually will.

Yep, the blocks are the way to go, and as mentioned, freezing the excess is also the way to go imho. 

I prepare goetta in two ways primarily: thin sliced, cooked crisp, and drizzle a small amount of maple syrup over it, adding just enough sweetness to 'spike it up'.
My other favorite way is a little more labor intensive BUT pretty damned good. I cut it as thin as I can while it still holds together and roll a hard-boiled egg in it, making an even, thin layer of goetta on the complete egg. Then roll that in flour and deep-fry it ala Scotch egg. Serve with your favorite mustard and beer, and turn on the game!
