Robert, you’re being a PITA with your “balance” comment.

Thanks for the nutritional value Robert; I wondered how healthy this is compared to pasta. Just made it for the first time from the tube form. Friend in a little buter w/olive oil topped with marinara sauce with little cheese. LOVED IT. Polenta will now become a staple in my house. I’m assuming its healthier than pasta.

I had noted it in some recipes, but I never tried it. Finally, I purchased a bag for 1dollar not a lot in case it didn’t turn out. I love it, I am now ready to move on to a five pound bag.

I love polenta! A friend and I made ours with garlic and a little cayenne and fried it like you.

Just for some balance here in response to Momo G, fried anything, topped with butter, washed down with fruit juice, eaten on a daily basis, isn’t “healthy”–it’s an autobahn to coronary artery disease and diabetes. Knowing that the foods you’re eating are harming your arteries shouldn’t be “comforting” to anyone. If you want a great, hot, economical breakfast, boil up some steel cut oats and add some fresh fruit and cinnamon. Don’t want to cook? Just splash some almond milk onto some old fashioned rolled oats (not the “quick” or “instant” oats, and definitely not those packets of oatmeal) and add some fruit.

I’ve eaten fried mush all my life. I slice it 1/4″ thin, dust the slices with flour and fry until golden brown. Just pass the butter, please; it needs no other topping. Butter, man, no fake chemical stuff at our house. A glass of orange juice is the only other accompaniment. Eat until full and know that it is economical, healthy, comfort food like no other.

I have been eating Polenta for 80 years. I was told at the time that it was a Austrian recipe.
I eat it at any meal. I like it for breakfast as a cereal or fried topped with Syrup.
I have had it at dinner in place of potatoes or rice. I also like it with cheese and a glass of wine.
It is also very economical.
So happy to see that so many people are eating it today.
