I did not go to DOSS. I just like the name.
I am a Boone County Rebel - A mascot chosen by students as the James Dean character, but rebranded by administrators as the Southern Confederate kind (to be less controversial). Nice work, 1950’s!

Joey went to Doss? What? The landscaped spelling of DOSS out front had to kill him. What an awful school.
When I think of the Confederate South, I think of Boone County imo
The South Will Rise Again All The Way Up To The Ohio River IMO
FUN FACT - General Robert E. Lee's army lived on goetta for nearly 9 months.

I have been a longtime proponent of goetta on this board, damn you.
Goetta doesn’t even rank in the top 5 awful things about northern Kentucky so kudos for that.
Goetta
Type:Sausage or Mush
Course:Breakfast
Place of origin:Cincinnati
You're either sausage or you're mush. There is no in between. It's **** from a **** town. Period.

Northern Kentucky capitalized, sir.
And not surprised a WASP like you would dislike German Catholic Northern Kentucky.
It’s hard to know your friends from foes around here, which is why I’m always on edge.
Speaking of German heritage, apparently I have none, which was a surprise. I may rethink this whole goetta thing.
Been doing a little family tree/genealogy research. No only am I (maybe) not German, but not black (as has been suggested by a couple of Gyero peeps), Jewish, Native American (rumor from my Dad's side) or Scottish.
My limited research says I should be 50% French (Alsace-Lorraine), 25% Irish and 25% Welsch. I filled a test tube with spit and sent it away the other day to find out for sure.
And my real last name should probably be Veers.
Anyone else ever done 23andMe.com or similar DNA testing? I think it is pretty cool.

It's always odd how you can feel it once you get into Northern Kentucky; it's immediate. The German smugness just overwhelms my Anglo senses.
- no surprise that the cake-eaters of our lot don't appreciate goetta. Born of working class ingenuity and need, it is a shining example of what makes this country great.
-If it were not an old fashioned food, if instead an effete hipster "chef" of a one word (non plural) gastro pub had come up with the idea...the same that are scoffing would be rife with adulation.

My Aunt (Dad’s sister) did that DNA thing and it said she was a direct descendant of King Louis XVI.
I’m almost 100% certain they randomly select someone semi famous or an historical figure from centuries ago and tell everyone they are a descendant of someone they would’ve heard of. Because at some point down the line, I’m sure they are.
Pretty sure most of us came from Genghis Khan’s ballsack.

Alsace-Lorraine has passed between Germany and France many times. So you can pretty much still claim German roots.
My crazy aunt did it recently and they told her they could only go back a few generations on the female side but 25 generations for males.
Willy, my ancestors are from Alsace-Lorraine as well. I did the 23andme thing. The results came back as German/French - it can’t really distinguish between the two.
I think a lot of families from that region of Europe settled in Cincy/NKY.
The test also revealed a significant amount of Irish heritage, but I largely ignore that.

Be born better and you won't have to eat awful food
*settles in for a delicious English meal of eels and reserved annoyance*
“I’m a descendant if Leif Erickson!” - literally and figuratively and genetically every white person who does one of those mail order genetic testing
<—— in the 99.99 percentile of German-American smugness don’t beim me

All I know is that my ancestors had the good sense to stay on the damn boat when it stopped in Cincinnati and thank God for that. I also recognize that most of you ‘billies shot through the Gap and don’t know any better.

Agreed.
I picked up the ClickList at 4:30, accepted the organic pancake substitute, tucked the eggs and bread up front and was on my merry way. All in business caszh, mind.
The ClickList people weird me out. I don’t like them touching my food.
