Hominy Flakes!

Where did they go? Who took them and forgot to bring them back?

I LOVED hominy flakes and would just love to find someplace to buy them. Does anyone make them any more? I've Googled, I've Binged, I've Yahooed. I've found recipes using hominy flakes that were printed in a 1906 cook book. And do you think younger generations even KNOW what hominy flakes might be? They're clueless. LOL

hmmmmm... I suppose I could slice hominy, dry it, store it, and then when I am in the mood for hominy flakes cook some up. LOL or not.

  1. Try a food coop store. Here in the Midwest we have a lot of Amish and Mennonites and they have bulk food stores that sell them.

    2. I have asked around. We have a good sized community of Amish in southeastern Indiana. Everyone I asked said, they make their own hominy, but no hominy flakes. The only thing I've found is that someone has a ready market with so many people looking for dried hominy flakes and nobody finding them. I remember them from my childhood and my nephew is also searching. A great and different taste sensation.

    3. Did anyone find them? I am looking for them for my 85-year-old father-in-law for Christmas and I am determined to find them! As someone said in March, there seems to be a market for them!

  5. Goya does make them. They are not called hominy flakes, and you can find them in most Mexican grocery stores.

    1. My grandmother purchased them in a clear bag. Not sure who produced them but she lived in the Nashville area (Springfield) and they came through a local grocer. But I haven't found any and I've been looking for decades.
