It's still good stuff, but completely unlike what folks must have eaten before "corn" made its appearance in European fields and tables, just as "Corn Meal Mush" was really a "Yankee" dish, not Southern, where temperature and humidity made storing ground cornmeal for an extended period tough, thus the advent of "grits", the son of hominy.
