"Polenta" is a staple of Northern Italian cuisine. What's it made from?
Correct answer: Cornmeal

The included photo doesn't look like any polenta I've ever had. It looks more like boneless buffalo wings. Either way, now I'm hungry, lol.

MizDizzyMizzy63, I agree too. I live in the north of Italy and have never seen any polenta that looks like this.

in our cuisine we call it "mamaliga" ha ha ha! ;D

That photo is wrong. That's not polenta
TwoDeer
Player lilith666, actually, it is more like cornmeal mush.

TwoDeer, the flavor does remind me of grits. I'm a southern girl and know my grits!

LaContessa, The pictures are not all the answer to the question. Some pics are merely pertaining to the category of the question. Hence, polenta is FOOD. So are chicken wings.
Turandot
MizDizzyMizzy63, you are right. this is not polenta at all!

Big Blue Narwhal, do you eat rice? or potatoes, even...? please be mindful of the fact that many foods eaten, aren't indigenous or native to where they are consumed.

MizDizzyMizzy63, That was my 1st thought too & now Im also starving! Although, tbh, I wasn't aware that it could be allowed to cool into a loaf (but I'd definitely try it!!)!!

I can’t stand the stuff so the above picture of NOT polenta looks very appetising!😃

It's a romanian dish 100%

We have that type of food in Romanian cuisine! In the picture we can see a mix of minced meat and cabbage! Sarmale!

CyndiWig1, polenta is just Italian grits & grits are just southern style polenta (lol)

Cousin of grits.

We call it grits in the South. Come visit Charleston, South Carolina and try the shrimp and grits and you’ll be happy y’all did! The best grits are from Geechie Boy Mill. Try the unicorn grits if you can find them.

Big Blue Narwhal, Because once it was 'discovered' in the Americas in the early 1600s they sent it over to Europe where it was used in place of other grains.
