corn mush

Cooked ground corn

Corn mush is a thick porridge made from cornmeal boiled in water or milk, a simple staple of American cooking since colonial times.

When cooled and sliced, it can be fried—at which point it's often called fried mush or, in some regions, polenta.

We had corn mush with butter and maple syrup for breakfast.
