I had my first taste of grits after starting to date my Southern boy! Reminds me of the joke;
Waiter; "Hominy grits?"
Customer; "I don't know, about 50 or 60?"

When things get puffed up and are poisonous they remind me of
fugu, and I shall stay away from hominy...

It is corn soaked in lye water until it puffs up and then it goes through quite a rinsing process to get rid of the lye which is poisonous and caustic.

I guess it's high in calories, therefore not for me. Sorry to hear about your cold, get better soon. And thanks for pointing out the pitfalls with today.com. I don't pay much attention to the writer's rights in this case, because it's just a filler for me which generates some cash. But you definitely have a point.

Re: If I'm not mistaken...
I am pretty sure that farina is a kind of wheat. There are a bunch of different kinds. (And what isn't tasty with a bunch of butter, and a reasonable amount of salt...? Some foods exist in their blandness to convey other tastier elements to our mouths.)

If I'm not mistaken...
...it's grits, which I like with a lot of salt and butter.
I also like cream of wheat, but, can you explain why it says "enriched farina" on the box? What the hell is farina? lol
