What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else? (lemmy.world)

I regularly bake sweet potatoes then add plain yogurt, salted peanuts, feta, nutritional yeast, and drown it in hot sauce. The dish has no name nor should it ever see the light of day. What goblin mode meals do you guys eat?

What are grits made of? I've never seen them in 40 years but hear about them

Hominy. It's corn treated with lye, "nixtamalized" so slightly different from cornmeal. Hominy is so good in soup or chili, too.

Stone ground white corn. Very popular in the southern US. Similar to polenta (which is made from yellow corn) but you can prepare it in lots of different ways.

Grits can be white or yellow corn.
