Note the second definition for gruel: “Severe punishment.”

Gruel and unusual.

Mush is just cornmeal and water, like most forms of gruel. Grits are corn ground to a certain consistency so that they’ll have that “gritty” texture.

Nope. Grits are made from hominy, which is corn that has been soaked an a lye solution.

And mush is typically thicker than gruel.
