11. well u can kiss my grits ( ok just joking :) )

Grits are small broken grains of corn. They were first produced by Native Americans centuries ago. They made both "corn" grits and "hominy" grits.

Falls Mill produces "corn" grits.

Corn Grits
Falls Mill mills locally grown whole white hybrid corn. The corn is dried to a 14% moisture content, then each kernel is cleaned with forced air. The kernels of grain are run through the mill stone where they are ground to a certain texture and then sifted through two wire mesh screens. The three products sorted are white corn meal, white corn grits and the bran that pops off. There is a fine bran still in the grits product. This bran will never soften up with cooking. Depending on personal preference, the bran can be left in or removed by rinsing the grits before cooking. Yummy!

Hominy is made from field corn that is soaked in lye water (potash water in the old days) and stirred over the next day or two until the entire shell or bran comes loose and rises to the top. The kernel itself swells to twice its original size. After the remaining kernels have been rinsed several times, they are spread to dry either on cloth or screen dryers.

14. Grits are made from corn

Usually a breakfast item in the US Southern region. Made from the kernel of corn. When corn has been soaked in lye and the casing has been removed it becomes Hominy. The lye is rinsed out very well and the corn is left to harden. Then the swollen hominy is ground up to the texture of tiny pellets. When boiled with water, milk and butter it becomes a cereal similar to cream of wheat. It's used as a side dish for a good old fashioned Southern breakfast. Sometimes you can make it with cheese and garlic for a casserole.

Cooked slow with sharp cheddar cheese or Shrimps and Grits the great low country delicacy.

Also it can be used as a base for a number of savory dishes.

The greatest cuisines of the United States of America are the Southern cuisines particularily the New Orleans or cajun cuisine.

I grew up in a BBQ restaurant in Swainsboro GA yawl.

A man asked my granfather in the 80's, "You got your money now, Mr. Dudley. Why you still voting for them old Democrats? Why not vote Republican?"

He smiled sweat streaming from his forehead looking up with a meat cleaver in each hand as he chopped pork and said, "I may got money but that doesn't that I am an asshole. I know who is better for the country."
