hominy is only useful for sticking up your nostrils and causing your brother to spit his milk out through his.
but… but… but… hominy with maple syrup is yummolicious!
i’m not a big grits fan. h can have mine. it’s a fair trade; she gives me her cole slaw.
shrimp and grits, on the other hand… [drool]
There are some great Cherokee recipes using hominy online. I love the stuff, but you do have to “doctor it up” just a little. I love grits too, with runny eggs, all mixed up together.
All in your perspective, I guess. I’m a big fan of hominy (at least the canned kind; I don’t think I’ve ever had “real” homemade hominy). Like grits, it’s bland as-is. But if you add a little salt and/or pepper, it’s the necter of the gods. For grits, either cheese or some butter and salt. That’s good eatin’.
I like mine with cheese too.
I’ve noticed an eating style for grits. With some people they like to take a bit of egg, a bit of breakfast meat, and a bit of grits all on the same forkfull. And, some just take the egg and grits together. The purists just eat the grits all down by themselves.
The lye part puts me off a bit. You know some of it has to stay in the soft part of the hominy.
Grits? The primary goal of all corn, other than to feed livestock,should be to aspire to become popcorn.
