I know I should take this to a cooking group, but I know there are people
from everywhere here, and I sure don't have the time to sub to another ng.
;<
My Dad is whining for some food from his past, and since he's 82 years old,
I like to humor him as often as possible.
Has anyone any idea of what 'hominy flakes' are and where I could find some?
I've spent most of the evening following Google leads and still don't have
any.
Extra info that might help:
He was raised in Missouri
He remembers mixing the flakes with canned mackerel and making a 'meal for
kings'... just the best meal ever...
I know some of his memories are skewed by time lapse, but if this is a real
product, I'd love to find it. I've noticed as he gets older, he is having
a hard time finding foods that he likes or that satisfy him.

Yes, you should have. This doesn't even remotely have anything to do with
rec.food.preserving.

Apparently you haven't even bothered to use a search engine on the web.
There are numerous references to "hominy flakes" and sources where they can
be ordered. Here's one:

I have no idea what hominy flakes are, unless they are the same thing as
hominy grits, but I can't imagine mixing them with fish. Ugh! To each his
own.

They're the corn version of rolled oats. Hominy flakes is flaked version
of hominy made by drying and rolling; it makes preparation quicker.

Thank you, Scott. I love hominy grits as well as corn grits, but don't think
I'd care much for the flakes. I really like the graininess of grits.

This only proves that you are lazy, and significantly, too lazy to
move your butt on behalf of your aging father who gave you life. What
a princess you are! (NOT!)

Your father and my father are the same age, dearie, and I'll bet you a
dollar to a donut that he isn't 'whining' for a damn thing, he's just
asking you for a bit of comfort food. This is something all people do
from time to time. How dare you refer to your father as 'whining'! You
really should learn some respect for your elders!
One day with any luck you might live to be an 82 yr old. May you be
blessed with the same kind of impatience from those around you that
you are showing to your father.
As for humoring him, he humored you by changing your diapers, feeding
you, clothing you and working hard for you to have all the extras that
he didn't have during the Depression and during the war. YOU OWE HIM!
And one last thing: when he finally dies, will you 'humor' him by
standing there with your hands open to grab onto whatever he Wills to
you? Will you 'whine' if he leaves you nothing?
You really are a piece of work. Shame on you.

That was a little harsh -- not wrong, but harsh. At least Deb is making
an effort, even if you don't approve of her choice of words. Perhaps
you would rather she just ignore him?
Canned mackerel... Uggh.
Flaked maize is available at homebrew supply shops. It's probably
degerminated, but not necessarily alkali-treated to make hominy before
they roll it. But it might be closer to what you are looking for than,
say, cornflakes breakfast cereal.
While looking for the "flaked hominy", maybe there is a clue here that
he would like sardine sandwiches or something like that?
Best regards,
Bob

I can't find any either... and the one link that was posted here says
they are not available when you go to the order page.
> He remembers mixing the flakes with canned mackerel and making a 'meal for

Well... occasionally we mix canned mackerel or canned salmon with flaked
oat meal and an egg, patty them out, and pan-fry them into "salmon cakes."
I don't see why flaked hominy would be much different. In fact,
anything could probably used as a binder/filler for that purpose.
I wouldn't substitute hominy grits, however, because they are "gritty"...
but perhaps corn meal might work (finer grind)... OR... perhaps put
canned hominy in it... but watch out for too much moisture.
Just a wild idea....

I make salmon pie that way from canned salmon. No recipe but just figured
I'd extend the salmon same way as ground beef is extended for hamburger
patties. Some chopped onion or onion salt is good to add. Works great.

And it sure is a good thing I've been a member of this group for many years,
otherwise I'd have been put off completely by the rudeness my clearly
labeled OT post generated. I'm so sorry some people were so upset they
couldn't see the little smileys or read my mind and understand how important
my Pops and his happiness is to me.
Thanks Scott and Bob for the tips. Most of the info I found was was
outdated, the rest was in regard to cattle feed. Who knows, perhaps that's
what they were eating. ;>
Canned mackerel (ugh) is because they were too poor to buy salmon, and just
like a few other things, now it is a comfort food. He's tried using oatmeal
in his concoction, but "it just isn't the same".
There's a homebrew shop or two around, I'll give them a try. Thanks for the
suggestion.

Oh, phooey. It doesn't, anymore than asking for computer help on
r.f.cooking belongs there -- but it happened, Deb's been an old hand
around here, and it's not the end of the world as we know it.

Pooey! It's pretty clear that Deb's concerned about her dad's wishes
and is doing her damndest to please him -- I hear caring and a desire to
brighten his day in her paragraph below.

Flaked hominy (what it's usually called) is an old standard for folks
who lived out in the country. Dried hominy, flaked rather than crushed
as was done to make grits. It can be found in most farmers' markets
that have a bulk food section.
Here's a Google page that gives you sources and some few ideas about
handling it.

Never said it was the end of the world. It still would have been more
appropriate on a cooking groups, not preserving group.

Unfortunately that link, and all the others I tried, from my own search
and the other replies, indicate that the product is not currently available.
Does anyone know of a source where hominy flakes can currently be purchased
online?

From the information Pastorio gave, I found this:
http://patsbulkfood.com/
The flakes are not listed on the web site right now, but Pat can
probably get them for you if you ask.
(I thought all these places were in Utah)

It seems that the manufacturer (which I think might be Breiss) has
discontinued it.
This place:
<http://www.patsbulkfood.com/index.asp>
used to carry it. Maybe you can contact them for more info.

Thanks Bob(s)-
Although there are a lot of farmers around, I've never seen this in any of
the markets. We have a few stores that have an extended bulk section, but
not there either. My guess is that it is a southern thang.
I've sent email to Pat and ordered him some cracked corn and old fashioned
candy from Cane & Reed. (I gotta try putting those " 's around the search
words - thanks)
Hopefully, the corn will keep him sidetracked while I'm gone next week. ;>
He said he'd tried taking canned hominy, rolling it out and then drying it.
Didn't work very well, but took the better part of a day. ;> I
suggested setting his wheat mill for as large as it would go and running
some dried hominy through it. He'll probably only get courser grits though.
Today he's looking for tomato recipes. Seems he inventoried his freezer and
has a 'bushel' or so of frozen tomatoes and only knows how to make spaghetti
sauce and breaded tomatoes.
Whew! finally, back on topic... ;>

You might be able to fake them by using drying corn tortillas, and
crushing them, since they are basically hominy & water, or maybe
crushing cornnuts.

corn tortillas are actually made from masa, which is corn flour. Hominy
is made by treating whole corn kernels with lye to get the outer husk
off. In masa, IIRC, the corn is ground after drying but is not de-husked.

more on flaked hominy-it is thin flakes like corn flakes, can either be
white or yellow. My mother used to fix them in a cast iron skillet that
she added a small amount of bacon grease to, to that she would add some
hot water, cover and let simmer until done. season with salt and black
pepper.

Happens with a lot of things, when the PERCEIVED market is too small.
Bit of a Catch-22, though.

hard to find foods: <http://www.hometownfavorites.com>

I asked people who sell bulk foods in farmers' markets here in Virginia
about flaked hominy when the subject first came up. They told me that
their suppliers no longer carried it and that they expected that it
would be merely a curiosity produced by local mills. According to them
(and, obviously, their suppliers), the market has gotten so small that
it no longer pays for the mills to be making it.
