Polenta is an Italian term for a thick mushy dish made from various flours, but usually cornmeal, cooked with water.
It is sometimes served straight from the pan as an accompaniment to a meal, or baked and sliced to accompany food or to bake again in a casserole with sauce and cheese.

Are cornmeal mush and polenta the same?
Yes, polenta is made from crushed dry corn just like cornmeal. In fact you can use cornmeal to cook homemade polenta if you don't have official polenta. I use it all the time. The only difference I've ever noticed is that cornmeal is often ground finer than polenta. If you get course ground cornmeal it's the same thing.
