'''Polenta''' is a [[cornmeal]] mush popular in Italian, Swiss, Croatian, Romanian and Corsican[[Corsica]]n cuisine. It is a traditional staple food throughout much of northern Italy.

Formerly a [[peasant food]], polenta has recently become quite upscale, with polenta dishes in restaurants and prepared polenta found in supermarkets commanding high prices. Many new recipes have given new life to what is on its own basically a fairly bland food, invigorating it with various cheeses or tomato sauces.
