Are Grits and Samp the same?
Yeah, they're just about the same..."hominy" grits are a bit different, however, being treated with "lye". Samp is closer to 'polenta', which would be a good substitute, as the grind is a bit coarser, although the corn type is (usually) different. I don't think you'd notice it, though, in a recipe. Easy answer is to buy the coarsest local "corn-meal" you can find...or check out the experts at Anson Mills, if you don't trust my opinion... Cheers!
What is hominy its an Indian food what is it?
Hominy is not an Indian food..........it is corn
How do you make masa from feed corn?
First the corn is very thoroughly dried until it is hard, then it is stripped off of the cob and soaked in a fairly strong solution of calcium hydroxide, also called cal, until it swells up and the skins come off. It is then drained and rinsed. This is called nixtamal, if you grind it to a paste that is masa. If you dry it and crack it, that is maiz trillado, crack it a little finer and you have samp, grind it to a medium meal and that is grits. If you cook the whole dried kernels that is called hominy or pozole.

If you found weevils in your food, are they harmful to eat?
Generally, the presence of weevils in food would merely be an aesthetic issue (for people). If there are many weevils present, they may have measurably reduced the nutritional value of the food, changed the flavor and fouled it with their own excrement. Their bodies may also add a certain unwanted 'crunch' to the texture of the food. Their presence may also be a sign that the food was inadequately secured. Hence, one might also consider whether the food was contaminated with other insects or substances, or was degraded by moisture. Will the weevils, themselves, be a direct health hazard? Not likely. Removing the weevils by sieving the dried food stuff, or skimming them off during boiling, will further reduce any tiny risk, and may make the food more palatable to those who might find it offensive to share their food with weevils.
What is homeny and what can i use it for?
I'll stand back and let you read the other encyclopedic answers about hominy. I love this stuff. Here's an easy way to fix it: 2 cans hominy (yellow) 15 oz cans. 1 small onion diced 1 bell pepper chopped 4 slices bacon salt and pepper. Put the hominy in a colander and drain it. Fry the bacon until crisp. Remove it and set aside. Put the diced onion and pepper into the bacon fat and saute until it's tender. Pour in the hominy. Cook it 5 or six minutes to heat through and flavors to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
