- moron4hire 7y agoYeah, I live in Northern VA. We have a lot more dollars than sense here. We also like to white-wash southern food. Here in the DC area, for how it's prepared in dishes, polenta is definitely "rich-person's grits".
- davidw 7y agoYou can combine polenta with something quite fancy, and that's not unheard of in Italy. But it's also something that was a staple for the poor.
