Correct.  They are similar in being grain-with-cheese dishes, but the 
recipes I gave are not polenta.

I brlirbr that one of the defining criteria of polenta is that it's made 
from meal (ground or crushed grain) and is cooked into a porridge/mush.  
Granado has a millet recipe that seems to be a kind of polenta: cooked 
millet, mixed with cheese, cooled, sliced, and fried in butter.  As with 
most of Granado, the original may be from Scappi.  (Paging Mistress 
Helewyse...)
