Polenta and cornmeal mush are the same thing. They are both cornmeal
and water. So polenta is not unique or original to Italy. African
countries that use a lot of corn probably have their own versions.
Fancy Old World polenta has a little parmesan added. Fancy New World
cornmeal mush has a little cheddar added to the dish.
