Back from whence you came, blasphemer! Grits are not the same as "palento"
(by which I assume you mean 'polenta'). Ahem... instant grits are like
instant oatmeal or Minute rice - already cooked then dehydrated so they can
be reconstituted with just hot water. It's like camping food. It's not the
real thing. Not to say it's a bad thing, but you're the one who came in
here all confrontational, so there you have it.
Grits are made from dried white corn from which the bran has been removed.
Polenta is made from ground yellow corn. Both cooked grits and cooked
polenta can be chilled and sliced and pan fried into "cakes" of sorts, but
they are vastly different in taste and texture. So to *you*, go back where
you came from until you figure out the difference.
You might also like to figure out how both white and yellow hominy figure
into the picture. What is the difference between grits and hominy? Do you
know? Can you use each in a recipe? I expect a full report with *your*
photos and recipes this time next week. The clock is ticking. Better get
started
