Who likes hominy?

[Jara sang]

Or better yet... who has never heard of hominy? I like it. But I was just wondering if anyone other than those of us from the south have even heard of it.

1. I love hominy. It's okra I hate.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

[Shell Beau]

4. Hominy is good! But then again, I am a southerner.

5. love hominy AND okra...had both yesterday, along with...

crowder peas and cornbread. mmmm-mmmm

You can only get them in Virginia and the Carolinas though, right?:shrug:

[ret5hd]

13. no, the fort worth farmers market has a couple of farmers...

6. I love hominy, too.

7. Can we chime in if we don't like it? (I don't.)

I put out an email at work once asking if anyone spoke Norwegian, and within minutes I had a long list of people who DIDN'T speak it. So I'm not sure if I should answer the question unless I like hominy.

I do like grits.

[puerco-bellies]

8. Mmmmmm Menudo, and Pozole....

Good stuff.

[BikeWriter]

16. Mmm, yep. Especially with pico de gallo and fresh tortillas! :-)

9. Great with melted butter.

And a side of collards.

10. "For paradise, the southland is my nominee...

...just give me a hamhock and a grit of hominy."
-- Tom Lehrer "I Wanna Go Back to Dixie"

for those unfamiliar, Tom practically invented :sarcasm: back in the late 50s with his comedy albums. Think Mark Russell meets Lenny Bruce. Far more talented than that hack Russell...

[leftofthedial]

12. Oh yeah. Great stuff.

Corn is one versatile vegetable.

[annabanana]

14. botanically or biologically speaking... what is it?

describe it as to one who has never seen it.. I might even like it!

[Jara sang]

15. Hominy - from merriam webster:

kernels of corn that have been soaked in a caustic solution (as of lye) and then washed to remove the hulls

[annabanana]

17. lye? yum. . . . . .n/t

[trof]

20. Dried and ground, it's grits. Hominy grits.

[KamaAina]

18. Funny grits story

so here I am over at oasis' (the poster, NOT the band!) and Mrs. oasis is serving a good old country breakfast. Now for all she knows, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool NY expat, so she starts explaining to me what grits are -- not realizing that I lived for several years in grits-friendly New Orleans!

Yum. Too bad I don't usually have a reason to go over there mornings...

21. Ham & hominy & red-eye gravy.

That's how granny made it.

[madinmaryland]

19. My mom made it for us when i was a kid.

I hated it then, now my wife and kids love it. She still makes it for them.

[Debi]

22. Like, a three part Hominy?

boy, it's getting to be time to go home :cry:
