Loved the link, LMAO.
Early settlers didn't have the teeth or mouth muscles as the Indians did. Corn was stored over winter and cooked when needed over an open fire as we call Corn Nuts, but without the oil. Settlers found they could soak the corn in Lye to make hominy, baby food to Indians. The hull of the corn would come off. It could be eaten fresh or dried and ground.

Now I love grits, but I can't stomach hominy. Ain't that crazy?
