They put one or two fishes into each hill of corn, but they were obliged to watch the cornfield day and night for two weeks after planting. If they had not watched it, the wolves would have dug up the fishes, and the corn with them. The white people learned also to cook their corn as the Indians did. They learned to eat hominy and samp, and these we still call by their Indian names.
It's Rome for the Romans, Georgie, lobsters in New England, avocados in Log Angeles, hog and hominy here." There were others listening now, and she was aware of her amused audience. "If you don't like my little old New York," Waterman said, "I'll change it." "No, I am going back to the real thing, Oscar. To my sky-scrapers and subways. You can't give us those down here not yet.
Dey brought her in dis mornin' wi' two little children outen Teackle Hall kitchen; one of dem you give dat silver to little Ned. Hominy ain't said a word sence she come." Jimmy Phoebus went back to the corner of the den where the old woman cowered, and called her name in many different accents and with kind assurances: "Hominy, ole woman, don't you know Ellenory's Jimmy?

"I didn't ezackly make out what that cymlin-headed feller did it fur," Jimmy Phoebus remarked, in the hold of an old oyster pungy, where he found himself with his mulatto friend and Aunt Hominy and the children, "but the file he fetched me has done its work at last. Yer, Whatcoat," addressing his male fellow-prisoner, "take this knife the same feller slipped me, an' cut these cords."
'At least that is pretty well, ma'am. 'Most strangers and partick'larly Britishers are much surprised by what they see in the U-nited States, remarked Mrs Hominy. 'They have excellent reason to be so, ma'am, said Martin. 'I never was so much surprised in all my life. 'Our institutions make our people smart much, sir, Mrs Hominy remarked.
They eat the Indian corn in a great variety of forms; sometimes it is dressed green, and eaten like peas; sometimes it is broken to pieces when dry, boiled plain, and brought to table like rice; this dish is called hominy. The flour of it is made into at least a dozen different sorts of cakes; but in my opinion all bad.
When the corn ripens, a quantity of it is laid aside and gradually used in the form of hominy and of what I heard described as an “exceedingly beautiful meal, white as the finest wheat flour.” This meal is produced by a slow and tedious process. The corn is hulled and the germ cut out, so that there is only a pure white residue.
"Johnny cake" and "pone" two varieties of cornbread were regularly eaten at breakfast and dinner. The standard dish for supper was cornmeal mush and milk. As cattle were not numerous, the housewife often lacked milk, in which case she fell back on her one never-failing resource hominy; or she served the mush with sweetened water, molasses, the gravy of fried meat, or even bear's oil.
