Editor's note: grits are ground or cracked hominy. Hominy is
an American Indian food, which is made from dried corn.
There is virtually no substitute for it, and it is hard to
get outside North America. It is a very popular food in the
southern U.S. In parts of Mexico it is known as "nixtamal"
or sometimes "pozole".
