Simply put, polenta is like grits, except that it's Italian. It has long been a staple of Italian and Argentine cooking. You can get instant polenta or the kind that takes 5 minutes to cook. Then you can eat it by itself (not recommended) or add butter, Brie cheese, salt, tomato sauce with or without chicken or meat and enjoy.&nbsp;Polenta is down home food at its best.</p> http://mylifeinargentina.blogspirit.com/archive/2008/03/15/foccaccia.html http://mylifeinargentina.blogspirit.com/archive/2008/03/15/foccaccia.html noreply@blogspirit.com (Eugenia) Italian Food Sat, 15 Mar 2008 00:10:36 +0100 Friday, March 14, 2008: At dinner tonight I asked for a second piece of foccaccia. I don’t know, Alex said. I don’t know means no. Why don’t you have a piece of white sandwich bread? I shook my head. Thanks but no thanks. There were 3 pieces of foccaccia on a plate. Their plates are always fuller than mine. May I have a piece of foccaccia? Her daughter Terry asked Alex. Of course, honey, she smiled. I got up from my seat and put my plate in the dishwasher.
