I have never made polenta but would love to try it. My question is what kind of cornmeal do I buy? Is there a special one for polenta?
Thanks

... i also like it fried; put in a pan, let it set up (in fridge), cut, dust with masa harina flour, fry until golden. Sometimes I will season it with chili powder, cumin, and add a sharp cheddar cheese, too. When fried, it has a crispy exterior and a creamy interior. I serve it with a meaty chili, green or red, kind of an inside-out tamale.
...I prefer the silkiness that milk (or cream) gives it, and also the flavor of a stock, whether vegetable, chicken or other meat.
