Hog and Hominy

Of all the things we eat at my house, the one that gets the most comments from strangers is a simple dish of sausage patties, hominy (Manning's), and applesauce (White House).
I've always eaten it, my mom has always eaten it, and her mom always did too. I imagine it's as old as America itself. Sometimes I wonder if we're the only ones left who do eat it? We eat hominy in posole too, but that's from a little west of here, and a very old dish too. It's the only two things I know to do with hominy.
The other thing I have learned not to serve to strangers is scrapple, especially with King Syrup.
