Polenta is cornmeal boiled into a porridge, and eaten directly, baked, fried or grilled. Lynn which one did you not like? Some polenta is made with barley mill versus corn. But I would think if you like cornmeal polenta porridge then you would like corn stone ground grits. But I could be wrong. Dan we just need to send you some local goods. If Sam doesn't have any let me know. But I'm sure he does. You can have the ones I offered to Denny cos he didn't claim them.

So it's similar to a Panzeratti but corn meal instead of potato?

Hmmmm...never had Panzeratti. But isn't that more of a pastry with a filling? If so, no filling in Polenta.
For me Polenta is closer to cornbread or a tamale.
But I could be way off base....

Two brands of stone ground grits on the way. Snow storm on the way as well. I'll get 5 pounds of 16/21 shrimp when it's fit to drive.

can have the ones I offered to Denny cos he didn't claim them. Thanks for the offer but I didn't want to impose. I ordered 2lbs. from the link you posted as well as 2lbs. of those pictured by Sam. If someone would care to share a recipe that they have experience with I would be most appreciative.

When it comes to good eats what's mine is yours buddy. I thought Sam's recipe was simple and exactly the way I would cook them up. But let me ping my Mother tomorrow to see how she does them. Frankly, she kicks my butt when it comes to any and all cooking.

Saw Sam's recipe and it was indeed simple. Just thought someone else might want to toss their hat into the ring so to speak. Peace !!

i'm part alaskan native (athabascan eskimo) but the rest of me came from scotch-irish/cherokee descent. my paternal grandmother was born in 1892 and i learned from her, here in the sunny south. she was 78 when i was born and 104 when she died. her mom lived past 100 also. my grandmother had 15 children with 9 making it to adulthood. i heard countless stories of there always being bacon, ham and sausage on the breakfast table - not so much during the time my dad was born in 1929. they ate foods high in fat and cooked in fat but they aslo worked hard, manual labor. grits and oatmeal were as common as a cup of coffee and a pan of biscuits for breakfast. cornbread and biscuits for supper. from what i know, polenta and grits are no where close to one another. has to do with the milling process. i believe the grit is ground coarser than polenta and therefore, will have a different texture. the milling, or grist will also make for a different taste.

What the heck is a Polenta? Too lazy for google Polenta and grits are both ground corn. Grits though, are usually white ground hominy dent corn, and polenta is made (usually) from yellow flint corn. Grits are (usually) a coarser grind than polenta. For all practical purposes, you can interchange the two, but a purist would shoot ya.

Because they've never had real or the right grits. And then some will not try them to begin with.
But once tried, I do understand folks who simply do not care for them.

My Mother fell in the garden and re-broke her arm and went through some pretty rough surgery this time. But she did confirm that the recipes I sent you were pretty much hers. I also showed her Sam's and she liked it. Although, she does double up on the butter and soaks the grits before cooking. And uses heavy cream. White grits only for S&G's. And cook the shrimp apart from the grits but if preferred fold them in for more flavor in the grits. My dad prefers the ship on top of the grits. He also likes a little shrimp boil added. Again, I hit a restaurant once a year. That's our story and we're sticking to it!! Peace Out!

Thanks Richard---at 78 it's been a real challenge to hold her down on nice days. I went over there yesterday and both she and my dad were covered in mud, grass and bloody arms from laying sod and cutting fruit tree limbs. And she in a cast from the surgery. They are truly the salt of the Earth!
