What exactly is hominy?!


Question: What exactly is hominy!?
just curious!. Anyone know!? any websites!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
It's more then just corn mixed with lye!. It's actually boiled in lye, then they take the corn, put it in clean water, rub the corn till the huskes and the flesh come off!. The inside (the hominy) comes off and sinks, the husks float!. They pour out the water and husks and keep doing this over and over till you have no more husks!. Then you store it in a jar and use it how you like!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In the past hominy (mamaliga,kachamak) was very popular dish in Romania and Bulgaria, but now not!.
