Well JJ, thanks to your friend and her insistance on a way to cook Hominy I am now invited to eat FREE at Mamma's Southern Home Cooking Restaurant...I went in this mornig to ask them. "what the heck is hominy?" They had a pot full of the stuff, looked like mashed potatoes to me but (sorry for this) tasted like wallpaper paste...I and she talked awhile and I said, what about adding a whole egg, some finely chopped onions and a tsp. of cinnamon,making it into a pancake patty, then frying it either in hot oil or on the grill?" Well we tried that and gave some of the customers tastes and it was a big fat success at least to the people that like hominy. I tasted it too and when they came out crispy brown (like a potaote pancake) I added syrup and it was quite tasty. So tell your friend to try that....
