I'm part Cro Magnon, but it's a few generations back.

It's pretty wonderful when cooked in a pressure cooker with a little bacon
fat and green onion untiil soft.

Another old Google Group post! Hominy is defintely not grits. The
never ending questions... LOL

I could always find canned hominy (yellow or white) in any grocery
store. Then again, I lived in the mid-South when this was posted in
1994. I haven't looked for it in at least that long.

I grew up eating it and love it. I prefer yellow because it has more flavor
but I'll take whatever I can buy. My mom used to make a casserole that had
cheese, egg and bacon in it. I make similar but no egg. I do add onion. You
do add a bit of milk. I don't measure. Just put stuff in till it looks right
then bake till heated through. If using egg you would have to cook it until
the egg is done.

I also like Posole but if I were to make it, I would cut back on the meat.
Probably just use broth and little or no meat. What you get in restaurants
here is too heavy on the meat to me.

It's commonly eaten in the Midwest. But here, you usually have to get it at
a place like Winco that sells a lot of Mexican food. And you can no longer
buy the smaller (15 oz?) cans. Only larger and really huge ones.

I think it is difficult to find a source for 'corny' tasting hominy
(dried) I had one that sent me some from New Mexico but they moved.
The stuff I get from Winco is pretty tasteless. I'm about to send for
some from Amazon because of recommendations there.

the stuff that I got from New Mexico definitely tasted of corn. It
was lovely.
