Grist

I'm fascinated by all those words and their different meanings across the languages. Grist is wheat middlings--meaning wheat without the chaff (with its biblical flavor)--and can become Farina (food) or Semolina, but "middlings" itself already points at the milling stage. Grits comes from Grit (grain), which is already a complicated word, meaning (apparently) "bran, chaff, or mill-dust. It is also used for oats that have been husked but not ground, or that have been only coarsely ground" (pointing at Steel-cut oats, I suppose); so it's the food part and the waste part at the same time. Then there's Groat (grain), which is the whole thing. We move along to Gruel#Etymology, which is where I come in with my Dutch "grutten", not to mention "griesmeel", for griesmeelpudding--which I make here in the US with semolina. Wheat semolina! A word that is probably related one way or another to "zemelen", which is bran, haha. Oh, gotta go. They're taking over my cooking room. Drmies (talk) 21:58, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I had no idea the rabbit hole I was preparing. Very interesting, Drmies. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:BCEB:6E72:A02C:C51B (talk) 22:25, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
