LOL! It's like flying napalm isn't it? I just love the "polenta" with garlic and Parmesan. Then doing the saute. Nummy!

Unless it is organic, I would just assume it is gmo.

I like to do basically the same thing but using chicken broth and mascarpone cheese in the polenta. I also use green onion at the end of cooking it. We eat it this way for supper and then any leftovers go into a loaf pan to be fried up for breakfast.

My kids love it. It is a quick, cheap meal for us when we need it. I copied the recipe from an expensive restaurant in our area.

This sounds good! The cheeses and broth add depth to the dish for sure!

Thanks for sharing!

Can you use feed corn 2 save a few bucks??

5/5

Feed corn is usually genetically modified and believed to be a danger to human health. Some studies show it even changes human DNA structure. If you have access to organic feed corn that would be better.

MadBadVoodo, you probably could use feed corn. I dont see why not? It might be gmo but the stuff you're eating might be as well. IDK tho. the youtube poster delta69alpha talks about how feed corn is pretty much the same.

Thanks for the question and rating! (o:

Although feed corn is cheaper it is most certainly GMO and supposedly not 'food grade' for people, but that is up to the individual.

It would be cheaper.

Thanks!

what would make the feed corn not 'food grade'

would be if it had more mold in it. Aflatoxin, a mold

often found in corn, is one of the most carcinogenic

substances there is. Of course, a certain amount

is also found in 'food grade' corn. Arrowhead Mills

is the only grain company I know of that tests their products for aflatoxin.

[Okejee]

oops,I SHOULD have said, Aflatoxin is the poison

produced by Aspergillus mold, which is found in

corn. Also, it's often found in peanuts, too.

Very bad stuff!
