Not really, but similar. Also...

An order of grits is $0.99.

An order of polenta is $7.99.
Not similar, same.  Like I said, elitist food snobs...:)

Still, if snobs are willing to pay $7.99 for 50 cents worth of corn meal, then I can't fault the restaurants for charging that much.  A fool and his money are soon parted and all.

Hominy grits are a type of grits made from hominy – corn that has been treated with an alkali in a process called nixtamalization with the pericarp removed. Grits are often served with other flavorings as a breakfast dish. Grits can be either savory or sweet, with savory seasonings being more common.


This is what grits are, made from HOMINY, which is made from corn by soaking in lye water.

You can buy hominy in a can, it's not particularly tasty

https://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-grits-and-polenta/#:~:text=Polenta%20is%20a%20traditional%20Italian%20dish%20made%20with,than%20polenta%2C%20which%20has%20a%20somewhat%20coarse%20texture.

Similar, but different.

Didn't read that and don't need to.  The main difference cited-- usually-- is the type of corn.  Except there are Italian versions of white polenta, and there are American versions of yellow grits.

So then people talk about how fine the grind is.  Except there are coarse versions of American grits, and fine versions of Italian polenta.

Ultimately, the only difference is the name, and how much a food snob is willing to pay for it.

We are venturing out in October, a short three night vacation up into the mountains.  I have a cousin who recently moved to NC in the mountains and we'll visit her and her husband who I knew in High School way back in the day.  He was on crutches the same time I was after I turned my ankle, so we saw each other in the halls for a while.

Not all grits are hominy grits, hence the quailifier "hominy" in front of the word "grits.:  And some polenta is made from white corn, although I've never heard of hominy polenta.  No real need to make something called hominy polenta though, since hominy grits already exist, and hominy polenta would just be the exact same thing. :)

I've actually never seen grits not called hominy grits.  I could have overlooked it.

better to eat your corn fresh on the cob

doctored up with butter, salt, and pepper

Guess you're not looking? All kinds of grits, both yellow and white, can be made without the hominy process.

My kids with braces both miss corn on the cob.  Occasionally they'll do it anyway, but they pay the price with the lengthy toothbrushing and waterpicking that follows.

I really enjoyed the Shrimp and Grits at this place in South Carolina

But, the the Fried Chicken & Waffles were much better
