Personal Notes:
Today, the world calls this simple mush, "Polenta," and it is served in some of the finest restaurants. My mom used to laugh at this! We at this like a cereal with milk and sugar - yum - but it is also very, very good poured into a loaf pan, refrigerated until set, and then sliced and fried.
