I'm in North Carolina. Yes, they are hominy (like white corn), and the texture is not like oatmeal (love steel cut oats). It's more like gruel...except it tastes good.
I occasionally have 1/4C with low-fat shredded cheddar on it, but my favorite is "Shrimp Grits". Oh, my! It's creamy grits with a topping of Junior Johnson Country Ham and Shrimp with red & green bell peppers.
Mostly people from "up North" don't like grits.
