Nah, not outlawed, but not as debated as in the North/South.  Thanks for the welcome! |

Bogiemom welcome to the board..
Being a displaced New Yorker living below the Mason Dixon line.. I still can not bring myself to eat Grits or Polenta...
I thought Grits were outlawed in Canada.... only kidding..
I like to kid David about Grits!

DID IT SAY THEY WERE THE SAME..THAT'S NOT HOW I READ IT.
DIDN'T IT SAY.....ONE IS MADE FROM WHITE-HOMINY AND ONE FROM YELLOW-CORN MEAL???????
Hominy grits is grits made from nixtamalized corn, or hominy. It is sometimes called sofkee or sofkey from the Creek word
Polenta is a dish made from boiled cornmeal. The word "polenta" is borrowed into English from Italian.
Grits is similar to other thick maize-based porridges from around the world such as polenta.

Wow, thanks so much!
I will definitely try them out. I was also watching Throwdown with Bobby Flay, and he did a dish called Shrimp and Grits. Can't wait to try this too!

Bogiemom,
They can be the same thing depending on where you live.
Today most of us think of grits as ground hominy (maze soaked in a lye solution to remove the outer hull).
Polenta is ground maze (corn meal)
I hope this helps.

What's the difference between....

What's the difference between grits and polenta? Growing up in a rural area of Ontario, Canada, we didn't have either of these.
What are these and does anyone have tried and true recipes for these? I was watching Chopped, and the one chef commented on how instant grits were in his opinion, inferior ingredients.
Looking forward to trying new recipes!
