It is mentioned in Platina as being used in porridge and bread.
Taillevent recommends washing it, cooking it in cow's milk, and later
editions suggest adding saffron. According to _Food and Drink in
Medieval Poland_, millet was one of the staple of pre-potato Polish
cuisine. There is a recipe in Granado for a sort of millet-cheese polenta,
which is then sliced and fried. I'll post the recipe later.
