Adventures with hominy

[Guest guest]

Okay, maybe I got a bad can of hominy. I have never had it

before, so I picked up a can of white hominy to try this week.

Yesterday when I opened the can I noticed the kernels looked

kind of wierd. Does white hominy taste kind of dry-ish and are

the kernels supposed to have a sort of grey-brown tip or did

I just get a dud can of the stuff? I tasted them before adding

them to my salad creation, and they were like cardboard, not

soft and creamy-textured as I was hoping for, but then since

I have never had any before I had no way of knowing what to

really expect. I didn't dare use them! *lol* Instead I just went

ahead and boiled up 2 cups of small shell-shaped pasta to put

in my salad.... I just chickened out.

 

I am not going to give up on this new food attempt based on one

can, so you experienced hominy eaters please give me some ideas.

What is the difference in yellow and white hominy?

Are white hominy kernels sopposed to be all white or do they sometimes

have browish-grey tips? Are they creamy in texture, or kind of dry

usually? Thanks!
