I went to the store to buy a can of corn and by mistake bought a can of somthing called Golden Hominey. What is this exactly? Please tell me its not like creamed corn.
Grits! They’re mainly a Southern food. They’re good with traditional breakfast foods and some kinds of meat.
Hominy is dried corn kernels from which the hull and germ have been removed, usually by boiling in lime. The kernels are swollen like popcorn and have a soft, chewy consistency. Gound hominy is called grits.
GRound hominy, dammit. Ain’t grits unless it’s ground.
You can use in in soups and stews, similarly to the way you might use beans or barley.
And hominy comes in white and golden. Perfectly good as a side dish, perhaps with some bacon or ham in it. You’ll want to season it a bit, as it’s very bland by itself.
Well I just dumped it in with my Spanish chicken & rice dish so heres hopin it dont come out to terriable. Thanks for the answers everyone!
I may be the only person on earth who likey the taste of plane hominy. When it comes to grits I like grease and bacon and all the other stuff. But when it comes to hominy I like to eat it straight out of the cold can. Alternatively it’s pretty good warmed with just butter, but it best cold and straight from the can.
How the hell am I supposed to know how many grits?

Although I’ve only ever seen it with white hominy.
Interestingly I realize that I spelt that wrong, but the Google results were so many that I didn’t notice. For you sticklers, that’d be spelt “pozole.”
I love the stuff in soup.
“Posole.” In New Mexico, it’s a traditional Thanksgiving/Christmas dish, and here’s a basic recipe.
