[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love hominy with butter, salt and pepper.  No one else in my family likes it, but it’s what I grew up on (Oklahoma — it’s a Native American thing). When I was in college on the east coast, I found hominy in the “international foods” section of the grocery store.  LOL[/quote]

Is that just another word for polenta or grits? [/quote]

It's full kernels of corn but soaked in stuff that makes them plump and tender. Hominy's the main ingredient in posole and some other stews. (NP, fellow Oklahoman hominy-eater here.)[/quote]

"Hominy is dried corn kernels that have been treated with an alkali (like lime or lye) in a process called nixtamalization, which removes the hull and germ, causing the kernels to puff up and become more nutritious. It's a staple in Mexican and Southern U.S. cuisine, used whole in soups like pozole and menudo, or ground into grits or masa for tortillas and tamales. Hominy is available canned, dried, or frozen, and is known for its chewy texture and enhanced niacin content. "

Very common in Mexico and SW states. It's a mild, softer non-sweet corn flavor, so I don't think it's that weird. [/quote]
