Hominy is the whole kernel of dried corn that has been treated with lye to remove the hulls. Grits are the ground particles of hominy and are coarser than cornmeal, resembling broken rice. They are extremely popular in the southern United States and are served boiled with butter or gravy as a breakfast cereal or side dish. Grits are particularly popular with game and can be baked or molded, then sliced and fried in bacon fat or lard. In the Southwest, hominy is baked in various combinations with cheese and chili.<\/p>\n
