The Village Pendant. Duh.

I can still go into any supermarket in this town and find course ground
corn meal labelled polenta, be it bulk, bag, or box, just as I'm sure the

probably did. It may be incorrect, but the fact remains.

Sorry to cause a flame war!

You didn't.


In the local supermarket here in Australia I can buy an ingredient labelled
"Polenta" which is made from corn, but I cant find anything labelled
"cornmeal".

I'll try making corn bread with the "Polenta ingredient" & see how it works.

The polenta may be a little more coarsely-ground than some American
cornmeal is. So if you don't like the texture of the recipe, try to get
a finer polenta.
