Then take it out of the pot, and with the water in which it was boiled mix enough plain water to boil one break- fast cupful of hominy grits and two cupfuls of yellow corn meal; stir all well while cooking (about half an hour will do) ; while this is being done, cut the meat up in very small, thin pieces ; mix these pieces through with the mush while warm, and pour the same into flat pans.
