The spelling of the word "hominies" is actually incorrect. The correct spelling is "hominy". Hominy is a food made from dried corn kernels that have been treated with an alkali, often referred to as "nixtamalization". The IPA phonetic transcription for "hominy" is /ˈhɒmɪni/. So, while "hominies" may look like a plural form of "hominy", it is not the correct spelling in English.
