>It looked like the main, or only 'dish' was made up of two parts. One
was a corn meal/grits type of thing the other being tomato sauce/gravy.
The service was composed of the corn meal being literally spread out
onto the entire surface of the long dinner table with the tomato sauce
spread on top. The family then sat and ate this off of the table.<

My great grandmother from Italy used to make it (polenta) that way,but
my grandmother revised it a bit.She would cook the polenta to a creamier
state,put it on a indiviual plates w/mozzerella and parm on top,then
another layer of polenta,topped with homemade tomato sauce and
sausage.The cheeses would melt and add a heavenly flavor to the whole
thing.I could never make it like they did...such childhood memories
