All I know is in all my cooking classes where I learned to cook Polenta they said it was not the same as cornmeal. So I guess that means since grits are white, it is different. I've never seen white Polenta. So interesting.... really isn't it all corn?
If I'm remembering correctly, grits are made from white corn - like hominy is white corn. Where as from what I saw/read polenta is yellow corn. still corn is corn.
That makes sense. Isn't hominy a Mexican dish? I recognize that name but can't place it.
I've never had grits.... but it sounds good. I can't imagine any better way to enjoy and egg than over yummie food. I've even had an egg over a salad (over medium style). It was a little weird at first, but then I ate it and it was so good. Heck in Europe you see pizza with an egg cracked open on the top all the time.
Now polenta..... I LOVE a creamy polenta and have stopped making mashed potatoes because, well 1 no pealing of yucky potatoes or slicing can't forget that, 2 no boiling water to pour and burn my face off, and 3 it just tastes so much better with steak and lamb and pork chops. Now chicken, way better with mashed potatoes.
