Hominy
Cook this just as you did the rice, drying it in the oven; serve one morning
plain, as cereal, with cream, and then next morning fried, with maple syrup,
after the rest of the meal.
Fried hominy is always nice to put around a dish of fried chicken or roast
game, and it looks especially well if, instead of being sliced, it is cut
out into fancy shapes with a cooky-cutter.

Definition of:
Hominy
Hulled corn with the germ removed and served either ground or whole. The
pioneers in North America prepared it by soaking the kernels in weak wood
lye until the hulls floated to the top. Hominy is boiled until tender and
served as a vegetable. Hominy grits (hominy ground into small grains) are
boiled and served as a vegetable or as a cereal, or they may be shaped into
patties and fried; they are especially popular in the S United States. Samp
is a type of coarse hominy.
