Taste does change over time.  It seems like I do not like some stuff that I did at one time, spam comes to mind.
I know I try to eat at mcdonalds at least every 4 or 5 years, to see if my taste has changed, tried again last week, it just reminded me why I do not eat there.

DonP,

I read about Pellagra recently too when I was trying to make tortillas with the corn I grew last year. I read a little further and found that wood ash will nixtamalize the dried corn. I add a couple cups of wood ash from the woodstove to a gallon and a half of water and boil it awhile then let steep a few days before pouring off the lye water into jars.
I add a couple cups of corn to a pot and cover with lye water,boil a half hour and let it sit a day or two then wash and rinse well and run the corn through a grinder twice. We liked the results enough to go and buy a good press and eat them regularly now.

Hominy grits and regular grits both start with corn/maize.  Hominy grits go through the process Paul H describes prior to grinding.

Regular grits are ground white or yellow corn/cornmeal.  Cornmeal for cornbread is finer ground than grits.

So there is grits police that dictate how you can use them? So I suppose it's wrong to use them to help remove coffee tea and blueberry stains as well?

Oh, I know where hominy comes from and how it gets there, but it is still hominy, and I always thought all grits were made from hominy, I have never even seen yellow grits in real life.
I also understand the grinding, if compared to a rock crusher and sand or gravel, grits would be called reject material.lol

That's a great looking breakfast!

I may give that an honest try. That is how I cook rice, in broth.

Now is that sorta admitting that the other "try" was a bit "dishonest"?   :)

Nooooo.... I never mentioned any other incidents. You mean like brushing my teeth with them and the yet to be mentioned getting my tractor unstuck off of glare ice? All legitimate good honest tries at usage.  I'm thinking it might even be worthwhile to try and use some for oil dry.

I bet it will work, shoot pretty sure oil dry will work for grits.

I know, but I had to.

Y'all are overlooking the best alternative use of grits.  Mixed with some sugar, water and yeast and allowed to sit unmolested for a couple of weeks, grits will produce a large volume of neutral spirts when distilled!

Grits are like rice - eat too many and you feel like a blimp for a while! :D
As far as a still, um no?   ;)

I'm kinda surprised Jeff hasn't tried cornblasting the rims on the MR truck :D

Some of the posts here give the impression that you have to be from the South to appreciate grits.  I was in Michigan this last week and found that one of the Milan restaurants serves grits.  So I guess there are people up north who eat grits.

I was laughing about this thread while talking to my daughter yesterday, and she said some of the best grits she ever had was in New York City, apparently they had cheese and jalopenas in them.

Reminds me of the snake oil medicine salesman on "The Outlaw Josie Wales" selling his bottles of elixir to cure everything and the old Cherokee "Chief" telling him "You drink it." I wonder how grits do on stains? :D
