That's why I make it with sausage and sometimes add bacon. I also use fresh ground corn meal. I can get a coarser meal than what you can buy and for my tastes polenta should have a coarse grind.

The reactions ranging from bliss to "dear God get it out!" are indeed amusing.

I buy the yellow grits from a semi local producer. Little thicker then normal grit grind, and it's normal cornmeal just of the appropriate grind. Works well as polenta.
