Hominy grits in a can? I don't know, count them and them you'll know hominy grits in a can. (G)

AFAIK ready-to-heat-and-rat grits in a can is a non-existent fantasy.

That being said I do not like hominy (it's a texture thing) nor it's
ground up form drywall spacle (grits). The only way I will voluntarily
eat hominy is as Corn-Nuts.

OTOH - I loke regular corn just fine. Niblets, on the ear, popped, etc.

What do vegan zombies say? "Graiiins"

Ever meet any? No, because they don't do meat? (G)

Very Punny!

I like making jokes about vegans but never about tofu,
that's just tasteless.

Agreed, but this thread has some kick to it. Just got back Wed.
afternoon from a 7,200 (+/-) mile trip. For the most part food was
good, some was great, some was meh but that's travel.

Tofu is one of those take-it or leave-it things. If it's in an Oriental
entree and is sauced so there is *some* flavour -- then I'll eat it as
part of the dish. But if the tofu is the main part of the dis ... No.
thank you very much.

Title: Baked Spiced Corn Nuts
Categories: Snacks, Vegetables, Herbs, Chilies
Yield: 2 Servings

1/2 c Dried hominy
1 Carrot; halved
5 Springs fresh thyme
1 cl Garlic; smashed
1/2 md Onion
2 ts Spanish smoked paprika; more
- to taste
1 tb Chilli spice; more to taste
Kosher salt & chunky fleur
- de sel

Soak the hominy in a big bowl filled with water for at
least 6 hours - or preferably overnight.

Fill a medium pot with water, add in 1 carrot, cut in
half, 4-5 sprigs of fresh thyme, 1 smashed garlic clove,
the onion, the pre-soaked hominy and a few pinches of
salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 -
2 1/2 hours (until the skins of the kernels are beginning
to split, but the kernels themselves are not completely
falling apart. You should be able to pierce them with a
fork, but they should still have a slightly chewy
texture).

Using a fine mesh strainer, drain the kernels, sprinkle
them with a few pinches of salt and let them strain for
about 30 minutes. Toss the vegetables and dry the kernels
well with paper towels.

Preheat your oven to 400ºF/205ºC.

Transfer the kernels to a bowl and toss with the spices
and a few pinches of sea salt.

Spread the kernels in an even layer on a Silpat or
parchment paper-lined baking sheet and roast for
approximately 15-25 minutes (until the kernels appear
dried and are slightly crisped--but not burned). Be sure
to toss every 8-10 minutes so that they don't burn.

To serve: drizzle the nuts with some extra virgin olive
oil and toss with fleur de sel or any large-grained sea
salt and the chilli spice/paprika. Eat warm or cool.

Baked corn nuts can be stored in sealed container for
up to one week. (If they last that long without being
eaten - UDD)

Hi Dave,

Hominy grits in a can? I don't know, count them and them you'll know hominy grits in a can. (G)

AFAIK ready-to-heat-and-rat grits in a can is a non-existent fantasy.

That being said I do not like hominy (it's a texture thing) nor it's ground up form drywall spacle (grits). The only way I will voluntarily
eat hominy is as Corn-Nuts.

But, at least you can eat it. Steve likes corn, and with corn on the cob
season starting soon, there will be lots of temptation. I don't buy it
for myself, tho he says I can, knowing how much he likes it but doesn't
like the migraines it gives him. One night on our recent trip we
boondocked at a Cracker Barrel and went in for supper (usual plan when boondocking at a CB). Steve ordered a Campfire Meal, which came with 2
half ears of corn; I forget what I ordered but ended up taking about
half of it, plus Steve's corn (for me, later) to go. Not the best corn
I've ever had, nor the worst.

OTOH - I loke regular corn just fine. Niblets, on the ear, popped,
etc.

Same here. I picked up a bag of Beaver Nuggets at a Buc-ees stop while
on this last trip. They're flavored corn puffs; I got the cinnamon
sugar. Will post my opinion of them when I try them.

I used to press most of the water out, (sometimes) coat it like for schnitzel--flour, egg and bread crumbs, then fry it. Other times I'd
just fry it after pressing and serve it with soy sauce. Good, but I
still will keep eating meat. (G)
