I never could stand hominy.That's why they call 'em "grits", Jackie. Most of us have to grit our teeth to eat 'em.

Unless the *other is personally inspiring enough to make one say (As Ralph Cramden would) "Homina homina homina..."

As an old grits-eater, let me share some southern knowledge with you. Maybe more than you need to know!
Hominy is a treated corn product, the kernels (dried, I think but I never made the stuff myself) are soaked in a lye solution to take away the skins, then washed and cooked or dried. The cooked ones may be bought canned and have about three times the size and one fifth the flavor of fresh corn kernels, but are more digestible and supposedly more nutritious.
Grits, a southern staple, may be made from dried corn or dried hominy. Yankees--I mean, northerners--sometimes think they are a breakfast cereal and eat them with milk and sugar. We eat them at breakfast topped with a soft fried egg, or any time with butter or gravy.
Not too different from polenta.

This yankee learned how to eat breakfast grits whilst in the Navy. Fried egg with runny yolk on top and attack with knife and fork in a cross-slash offensive, leaving a puddled mush.
Other times; cheese grits. Yum!
Sometimes I'll eke my oatmeal with grits if the oatmeal is running low and it's gonna be a while till we go shopping, or sometimes just for the change. But no milk and sugar. Eeewww. Nosirree! Butter and peanut butter. That's the ticket.

Yummy.  ******************************************************** Awwright--I think I'll do this now: the only time I have ever gone completely off my rocker in anger over this place is the thread--possibly in our first year, or shortly thereafter--that got longer and longer with recipes. Recipes for banana sandwiches. I still remember (with a shudder) that it was Bingley's Durian thread. I completely lost it (temper-wise). Shades of, "Are we becoming a chat room, now?". I have been clenching my fists in the sandwich thread (bananas again--what IS it about bananas, anyway??), hoping every day that it would stop. And now we're starting on grits recipes. And it's even my fault, for bringing up hominy. Augh!

And hominy times have I heard you calling for a little more hominy instead of discord?
Which would you rather have: hard core porn or hard pore corn?
