hominy is made from corn which is treated with Lye.
the grits are a ground or granular form of these..
sort of like cream of wheat or hot cereal made of
grain....it looks from a distance like mashed potatoes..
as it is white. but more granular almost like tapioca
pudding. i think it may be served on a plate with
butter and maple syrup.

Hominy is also served whole...corn which because it
is processed it always comes canned as far as i know.

collards are sort of like mustard greens i think.
or Poke Salad, or spinach or chard...i think they
are served steamed.

The combination i remember hearing about is
grits and jowls....
now i suppose you are gonna want to know what
jowls are, or is that what jowls is??

i think it is some part of a pig...
perhaps the jaw bone??

i am not form the south, but these things are
foods often found in the south.

maybe someone will tell us what chitlin's are??
i know it is not "children"
maybe some kind of food....peerhaps it (they?) are fried...
