Everytime I see polenta in a tube, I look at the price ($3-4!) and think
"Lord, a pound of raw corn meal costs 59 cents." Water is basically
free...it's just the half hour or so of stirring that you save. It's not
worth that amount of money to me.

Not to mention, I imagine my Roumanian grandmother shooting me with
lightning bolts from heaven for even daring to think about buying pre-made
mamaliga (polenta).
