Polenta - Is this the most disgusting food item in the world??

[VanillaPumpkin]

I have just cooked a meal involving 'Polenta squares'. It is the most revolting thing I have ever tasted and the texture. Yuk.
So does it have any redeeming features or should I bin the bag of it I bought?
I read somewhere it can be used in cakes. Really? Anyone had any success with using it in baking.
I am quite shocked as I like nearly everything but I am having to cook pasta as I type as I can't expect any of my family to eat it.

yes,I think okra surely wins as most disgusting food available here in the UK. Why anyone would choose to eat it is beyond me.

(and I even like polenta )

Look, face it girls, polenta is OK at a pinch.
this stuff is satan's dinner

I read this as placenta. Seriously. Must get glasses.

PMSL @ placenta.

Hugh FW would probably do a polenta and placenta dish! (or has)

Agree that polenta and cottage cheese are pretty dire - but I've also got a thing about tofu - really not good
