I went to The Pendulum to grab some lunch and they had a bunch of salads so I got the one called hominy salad. The sign said it was corn and a bunch of stuff. I just opened the container and took a few bites. Who the heck knew that hominy is like corn nuts? Or should I say, corn nuts are made of hominy? I always wondered why corn nuts were so much larger than normal kernels of corn. Had to google hominy and found out that it's a dried corn that Native Americans eat a lot. It's also what grits are made of in the South. I had no idea.

It's not bad. It's not as crunchy as corn nuts obviously, but I kind of wish it was. I mean, imagine eating corn nuts without the crunch - that's exactly what this salad is. It's not that satisfying. It'd be good if they threw in a few actual corn nuts. That'd be good. I had like 3 bites and now I'm full though. This is not a light salad. I'll save it for tomorrow. Maybe I'll have a couple of bites for breakfast. It's totally hearty and filling. But now I've got the biggest craving for some bbq corn nuts.
