Comment of Draven Johnson:
When I asked my father about this word he said that the Hominy e knew of is grits and not the instant kind that most persons know of today. He said hominy was grits that you would grounf up yourself from corn and then boil it normally to eat with things like boil fish. He heard it from his parents who grew up in Grand Bahamas & The Berry Islands.
E.g - I gern(going) cook some burl(boil)fish and hominy.
