Polenta Recipe

Boil one pound of yellow Indian meal, (cost four cents,) for

half an hour, in two quarts of pot-liquor or boiling water, salted to

taste, with one ounce of fat, stirring it occasionally to prevent

burning; then bake it for half an hour in a greased baking dish, and

serve it either hot, or, when cold, slice it and fry it in smoking hot

fat. This favorite Italian dish is closely allied to the hasty-pudding

of New England, and the mush of the South. It costs five cents.
