SC - Breakfast

[D. Clay-Disparti]

This is how my husband's family always ate it.  They brought it over from the
old country.  It was the way everyone ate it there for a regular meal, and none
was wasted.  The family was large.  When family has returned to the visit
relatives and friends, it is still served that way.  They are from Sicily,
however, not Italy proper.  When the occassion called for a sauce on the
polenta, plates or bowls were  used.  It was always made very thick and to this
day my husband hates the stuff!

Where I'm from we just eat grits, "same thing only different".  I am also
pleased to say we used bowls or plates...always.
