folks used to survive on food called hominy - corn flour
What your referring too is probably not hominy. Hominy is corn that has been hulled and treated with lye, steamed then dried, and if ground is hominy grits (or just grits). The pioneers corn flour which is dried corn (best is sweet corn) then ground. Indians invented it. Cope's dried sweet corn (the modern version) is delicious rehydrated, then cooked to like a mush or pudding. Check it out -
