Hominy is the overarching term for any of maize - semolina or cornmeal made porridge . The different types of maize porridge have the following names:

• Polenta (Italy)
• Mămăliga (Romania) \ Paluckes (Transylvania)
• Ugali (East Africa)
• Nshima (in southeast Africa)
• Mealie Pap (South Africa and Namibia)

In addition to these firmer types of maize porridge, there are also more liquid maize porridge such as the Uji ( pronunciation : [ ˈuːd͡ʒɪ ]) in East Africa. For this, more water is simply used in the preparation. In East Africa, Ugali is eaten with salty side dishes for lunch or dinner, whereas Uji is mainly eaten sweetened for breakfast.
