It's made from cornmeal! As well as making the porridge, which apparently tastes a bit semolina-like, you can have it as an alternative to mashed potato and you can make it into/buy it in a block and slice and grill/fry it! They have it a lot in the deep south in places like Kentucky and Louisiana and in the West Indies!X

I got some in holland & barrett

i used to love polenta and make it into corn bread not allowed on Sw me thinks!

For brekkie I had 3 Ryvitas with cottage cheese mixed with a little sweet chilli sauce, and in the oven now in preparation for lunch is an SW quiche made with my leftover cottage cheese (I had a big pot to get through hence the excessive use!), 4 eggs, stirfried Quorn sausage pieces, red onion, courgette, green pepper, yellow pepper and mushrooms! I'll have that with some salad. Then for tea it'll be my hubby's beef stew made under supervision by me last night to make sure there wasn't an ounce of fat on the beef!! There's a big vat of it which is going to keep us going for days but that's good as I need to take nice warming filling things into night shifts with me to stop me from dying!!X

I had 2 weetabix with skimmed milk and sweetner with an apple and a clemintine! oh and 4 milk tray and an expresso choc!! yummy!!!

lunch is a pasta n auce 1 syn and an apple then i got go ahead crispy slices and a cemintine for snaky

I had magic porridge with vanilla muller yummm yumm! Got a banana to eat soon for mid morning snack and having peppermint tea atm!

Lunch will be a prawn mayo sand on brown HEXB

Dinner the o/h is doing a very posh roast pheasant (or is it partridge cant remember!) he knows exactly how to cook the sw way so i'm looking forward to it! he makes sw chips and roasties better than me!!
