Grits are made by drying hominy and then grinding it very fine. Hominy is made by drieing corn, putting it in an acid bath to remove the yellow husk, then cleaning it and rehydrating it. Hominy has the shape of corn but is white.

We definately don't have those here, but I know what Polenta is so I can imagine what they must be like. I'm going to be in the States for a couple of months soon so I will definately try them out. Along with Egg Beaters and 100 calorie packs of popcorn which I've also read about on this site!
