We ate dinner at the hospital last night. They had polenta. I asked if it
was made with dairy and nobody seemed to know for sure. Not even the cook.
But the server thought it was not. I had also ordered the beef stew
although it looked strange. And as she was dishing it up, she told me that
it had sour cream in it. Decline!

So I rounded out my polenta with a bag of potato chips (shared between the
three of us), can of bean dip, an apple and the scrappy remains of the salad
bar.

My mom had the polenta too. We both thought it tasted weird. They scooped
it onto the plate and it retained the scooped shape. Texture was very
gummy. I couldn't discern for sure if there was butter or cheese it in but
so far so good. The flavor was really strange though. Could be that they
used some kind of broth in it. Normally my mom and I both like polenta but
we did not like this at all. I did manage to finish mine though because my
blood sugar was low and they didn't have any other options for me. The
color was also off. Sort of gray.

Any clues as to what they might have done to it? And who puts sour cream in
stew?
